Your opinion about organ donation?
It should be an opt out system. That way, if you feel so strongly about your organs not being used after your death, everybody gets to know how determined to be a dickhead you were.
Great. Anyone who needs all my trans queer organs can literally have them rn, they don't even need to wait for me to die.
why not? I don't need my body when I'm dead, so I'd rather have the parts go to people who can get more mileage out of them. I think it'd be pretty amazing to have parts of me live on in other people, and for my family to meet those people and see what that contribution has done for them.
my family is heavily against organ donation for what they claim are cultural reasons. they can call it what they want but ultimately I think it's just selfish tbh. they can still have my body for the funeral, but yknow, the organs inside will just be elsewhere
Eerie, perhaps something that should never be.. or perhaps not. It seems to be based on a physicalist/functionalistic view of organs where they're simply gears in a machine that take on no emotional energy or personality, and I think this view is wrong.. maybe people would be weirded out if they knew just how intimate they're being with total strangers by accepting their organs, like giving up part of their own personality and taking on part of another's. On the other hand, maybe it's a harmless form of intimate sharing and maybe if it's eerie it's worth it to save lives.. on the other hand again, people are way too paranoid about death, too fearsome of it, too devastated by it, and will stop at nothing to prevent it, because they believe death is the cessation of existence..
We need more of them.
I think it's an amazing thing for someone to do, even if they won't be needing them any more. Giving someone else a chance at life would be the greatest gift in the world, while you might not feel that great of course being dead and all it would be a great feeling knowing that while you're alive that one day, someone will be able to live and make the most of life exactly like you did.
