Would you donate your organs when you die to other people. It has the potential of saving 50 lives. When I registered for my drivers license in California at the DMW, there was a question it asked whether you would donate your organs if you died in an accident.

No, because I don't know who's going to get them. I generally hate most people so chances are they will end up with someone I would've hated anyway. Because of the latter, they will rot along with the rest of me, thanks. Or I'd write out a questionnaire the organ recipient would have to take in order to have my organs subsisting in them. Said questionnaire would help deduce if I would have thought the person was favourable to me. But yeah, if they won't let me get all gimmicky with it, the patient can die for all I care. For everyone one person like me, there are going to be this many moral-ridden people anyway.

I'm not sure, I don't think I would be comfortable knowing that my organs will be used for other people after I die. It just doesn't seem right.

Yes, as long as it's for science. I decided to do this when I saw this awesome exhibit in San Jose about humans, they basically fossilized their muscles and put them in different daily positions to show how muscles worked. IT was awesome - I just have to donate my body for the further of science!

Yes, but I'd want the rest of me to be cremated and ashes scattered somewhere. o-o
