Nah if you're braindead, you're dead, you're not coming back, the brain has died but the stem never tells the heart, so it keeps pumping, keeping your body like you're alive, but you're fucking gone.
Which is why families have such a hard time consenting, because they still have a heartbeat, they're warm and have blood going through them, and it's hard to grasp that the loved one is only dead because his brain died.
Being O-, I feel like I'm being irresponsible when I don't. That said, it's been a while since I have, and I feel kind of bad about it.Quote:

Haha, my stepmother is O- and the Red Cross sends her notices a few times a month, whereas I get maybe 3 a year (O+). They hound the O- people around here to donate to the point of harassment.Quote:

My organs are mine and I'm taking them with me. Along with all my toys, as I'm going to be buried with everything except my money which will all be blown in having the biggest funeral party I can possibly afford. There will be hookers, coke, midgets, cake, alcohol, etc. and armed guards patrolling the grounds with t-shirts that say "No Crying Allowed." Anyone caught doing so will get free voluntary/involuntary morphine shots.
Regardless, I've been meaning to give blood. I love the suction feel of needles, although I have no idea why.
Fuck donating. I'd only consider it if the operations they gave people were for free.
So die without debt instead of live and have a chance to make up debt? good theory :P
Mech, look into donating plasma if you like the feeling. They cycle the blood into a machine to spin out the red/white cells and platelets, and then stick the blood back into you with the plasma removed. I've heard of people liking the blood donating feeling and -really- get a kick out of plasma donating. They pay you for it, too. Takes about an hour, and you get paid for just sitting there.Quote:
