Well, I don't smoke, I never smoked weed, I'm 60 years old, have diabetes, arthritis, etc. and I signed the back of my non-drivers license so I am officially a donor (when the time comes that is).

I have also read (and I wish someone can clarify this for me), that IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU SIGN THE BACK OF THE CARD INDICATING THAT YOU ARE A DONOR.

They can only use your organs IF THE NEXT OF KIN gives permision??

Is this true?

I mean, why sign the back of the card, if the parents, the spouse, etc, is going to say "oh no, don't disturb the body". You DO know that this is the usual first reaction when they doctors come and tell you "we can use the heart, kidneys, etc. etc."

So is it true that it depends solely on the permission of the next of kin??

Or is it the case that once you sign on the back, it's a done deal!!!!

My son once told me "I would never donate anything".

I told him "don't be so cocky, you've never done anything for anyone in your life, and you better believe that once you leave this earth, I'm donating your entire body to science".

I'd do it too!!! Believe me on that one.
