You should never be an organ donor.
I know that sounds terrible but people really should look into how they do that shit.
To give a very quick rundown, do you know why the term "braindead" exists? One of the primary reasons is organ donors.
You see, organs are something that they have to retrieve from the human body ASAP. That being said, in most cases, they won't wait until you are actually dead but instead when they decide you are braindead.
What does that mean?
It means that while you're still alive they will declare you braindead, they will pump you full of pain medicine (if you're braindead, why do you need it?) then they will extract your organs to essentially finish you off.
After I found out about this, I noped the hell out of that shit. I honestly think of few things more terrifying than being at my absolute weakest and some rich assholes desperately needs something I have, so Doctors say, "Well, he's braindead. Let's just take it now." and being cognizant and aware the entire time. Nope! Not happening.
In the words of the great philosopher Master Shake:
"I've lived a full life. It's actually been...pretty bitchin'. But now, regrettably, my life has been taken. Please bury me with all my stuff, because you know it's mine."
When I was a medical intern, we had a teenager dying, don't remember why, but his organs were okay. I vividly remember the daily meetings where my superiors discussed how to pressure his parents to 'donate' his organs. They refused, so the docs got increasingly pissed and increased pressure. They were so eager to gut that poor kid. I can't imagine how his parents must have felt. Don't remember how it ended since it was a while back. but it was disgusting. They also let middle aged people with kidney failure die because dialysis was too expensive even though it would have saved them. Shit like this was one reason I later left the field.
Yeah, i discovered it though actual association in the field as well. I was floored with some of the stories I would hear about how eager hospital executives could get some times. Especially when they needed a specific organ as a favor for some person of high status, who could boost the image of the hospital.
It's not lost on me that organ donation can save lives but what I think should be standard is a universal agreement of when it should be done. Even more so in an age where human greed, self-service, and ego, has become so prevalent.
I am not an organ donor.
