        I don’t plan to die with any of my organs in a usable state. I won the genetic lottery, I earned my organs fair and square. I earned it, I’m going to use every square inch of it.

        EDIT: /s

          Depends on the organ. No one is going to want my lungs or liver, but depending on how and when I die I could see my eyes still being useful for example.

      If you’re in the US and have a license they’re supposed to ask you to sign up to be an organ donor. Do that and let doctors decide what’s best instead of bequeathing a kidney to your cousin George.

      When my husband died unexpectedly, he had requested to be an organ donor (USA). The funeral home had me sign a consent form to allow his organs to be harvested. I didn’t know which ones, but it was a time-urgent matter. I hope some of his organs went to people who needed them. He was a healthy 30-year-old man.
