        I don’t plan to die with any of my organs in a usable state. I won the genetic lottery, I earned my organs fair and square. I earned it, I’m going to use every square inch of it.

        EDIT: /s

          Depends on the organ. No one is going to want my lungs or liver, but depending on how and when I die I could see my eyes still being useful for example.

      If you’re in the US and have a license they’re supposed to ask you to sign up to be an organ donor. Do that and let doctors decide what’s best instead of bequeathing a kidney to your cousin George.

      When my husband died unexpectedly, he had requested to be an organ donor (USA). The funeral home had me sign a consent form to allow his organs to be harvested. I didn’t know which ones, but it was a time-urgent matter. I hope some of his organs went to people who needed them. He was a healthy 30-year-old man.

        sorry for your loss thats terrible. also, sorry to say this but are you sure it was a legitimate operation? organ donation is tje US is highly unregulated and many donated bodies domt get used for intended purposes. if you want to know more about that look into ‘stephen douglas gore’.
