So today I signed up to be an organ donor.
I've gotten mixed reactions of this decision.
A point got brought up.
That doctors would be less likely to put all their effort in trying to save me from death if they know that my organs can save other people.
Honestly, this thought never crossed my mind.
Is that niave of me?
I don't see that happening.
I mean sure, it logically makes sense.
Why try to save my life if I could save, say 3 other people w/ my organs.
But I don't see that happening.
I'm convinced that wouldn't happen.
That the doctors would do everything they can to save me and if I'm going to die and they've done everything they can to save me, then donation will happen.
I could be wrong.
Either way I'm still going to be an organ donor.
