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."
Wow I had no idea about this regarding organ donation! Thank you for sharing this information, and for the link in your comment below. I've always been an organ donor but now I'm considering not doing that anymore, especially in this day and age. I have zero trust for the medical industry and of course for Big Pharma.
I'm still okay with donating blood though, because I'm awake and can consent and I really pay attention to what the people are doing around me.
In a proper society, we could do the 'right' thing, provided it doesn't interfere with religious beliefs. On this topic, we're prey to the whims of the profiteering; it's a losing hand, I strongly suggest changing your designation ASAP.
I am not an organ donor.
