That's all well and good I suppose. I only stated that it's not for me.
I would like to ask if you know how many people have awakened in a hotel bath tub full of ice and discovered that someone had stolen one of their kidneys for some rich, undeserving POS who didn't think they should have to wait for one to become available?
Blood and organ donation has become big business, both on the regular medical market and the black market. There's too much room for abuse of it.
Call me selfish but, I'll play the hand that was dealt to me and take mine with me to the crematorium. Everyone else can do as they please. See how considerate I am? I'm not going to take up space in a hole in a cemetery.
