So, I've been thinking for a while, about talking to my family - my parents, to tell them that I want to be an organ donor. But to be honest, I'm not too sure how they would take it. I mean, in my mind I know that if I tell them, and then I die suddenly, at least they know what my wishes would've been - so it's not a difficult decision for them. But then, bringing it up in conversation is a little weird - and I kind of feel like I might curse myself or something. Perhaps I'll just register and then it's out there and done. I'm 26 and I don't want to think too much about my mortality.
I remember a long time ago when I was little - maybe 9 years old - the subject came up and someone said that my dad could donate his organs - even his eyes and at that point, I was devastated - I started bawling, because I couldn't imagine someone cutting out my dads crystal blue eyes and them not being his anymore. I guess thoughts like that are kind of disturbing - but I guess if you're finished with your body, it may as well go to good use and hopefully save someone in need.
I am certain however, that I WILL NOT be donating my body to some university science lab - I've seen and met some of those student bastards - no friggen way!
