re: Organ Donation: Why don't more people do it?

I don't want the doctors pulling the plug on me prematurely. My family knows that when I pass, any organs I have that are still good they're free to donate. I didn't want the little heart on my DL.

I think quite a few people feel this way but that is one of the major issues. Family members are grieving over your death and don't want to make a decision for you so they just don't make one and your organs spoil.

I don't want my family having to make that decision right after I die so I just have the heart on my driver's license. No one is going to kill you for the heart on your license. If someone in a back alley really wants your kidney they won't give a shite if you are an organ donor or not. In their eyes you just became one.
