They can't use old or diseased organs, can they?

Leave me out of this.

Are you saying that I shouldn't have gotten cartons of cigarettes for my friends and family for Christmas?

If we'd just get going on this stem cell thing then this would all be moot. Sick people can just start eating babies and leave the rest of us alone.

"such a state that doctor's are willing to work less to resuscitate me" = poor (and gullible donor organ silo)

Our school has some donor club. It's stupid but they "informed" us that they only have a few minutes between someone dies that they can use the organs to give them to someone else or they go bad... or some stupid shit.

not every organ donated is in a suitable condition for a transplant. not every organ is a match for every body. organs are given out based on both time spent on the list and the emergency of the situation. a large amount of families do not know whether or not the dead person wanted to be an organ donor and do not sign off on it. etc etc etc.

if i'm in such a state that doctor's are willing to work less to resuscitate me, well, it's not like i'm going to know that...

Also, your donor status applies to your Warcraft character as well.

Anti, it's because they wrench out a dozen organs for every terminal republican and send them to the rich folk hospitals which only use the pick of the litter organ for transplant. The rest are tossed into the municipal corpse vats with the other stiffs.

Well there's a lot more to organ transplants than just taking out the heart of some random dead dude and sticking it inside someone else.

But if all these donors are still alive, it logically follows that a proportionate number of donors are constantly dying, satiating much of the demand from the sick. Unless donorism is prevalent only in young healthy people.

Um... because they aren't dead yet.

I only am because my mom was there when I filled out the license application and she guilted me into it. I don't want to be because a) like squashie said, doctors won't be as keen to keep you around if you're a donor, and b) I'm afraid that I might flatline but be not quite dead, and I'd like to wake up with all my organs. If it were possible to let me get cold for a few days to make sure, then go for it, but I'm too skittery.

What I want to know is if all...
