Organ donation

[Kazakovich]

I *think* I am an organ donor, I'm really not sure... My ambition in life is that at the end of it, all my bits and pieces will be so well-overused/abused that there is no sense to attempt to recycle them. But in the case that I don't survive this day for some reason, then I think my relatives will give the go-ahead for the doctors to save what they can for those who need them.

 

I've never donated blood, though. Partly because I don't like needles or the idea of having my own blood siphoned out of my body through one. I'd be terrified that the thing would slip out of my arm and cause me to bleed out or some other very unlikely predicament. And up until quite recently, I was even prohibited by law from donating blood. Not that they could really enforce it, but it was a good excuse to rationalize my needlephobia.

 

Some day, perhaps. But I simply can't summon the courage to do it at the moment.
