You can bank your own blood before a surgery, but the health care facility isn't actually required to use it (except in California and another state that I can't recall at the moment). Long term storage is a no-go, since refrigerated blood is only good for about a month.
And, honestly, the only thing stopping me from being an organ donor is the idea that my organs would wind up in some dipshit leftist and prolong their worthless life.
The thing stopping me from being an organ donor is that when hospitals see that icon they are incentivized to let you die so they can take your organs. I took the organ donor thing off my drivers license years ago. Get in a car accident and survive? Oops this piece of paper says you're a vegetable, time for your state mandated vivisection!
Unironically yes.
