A Good Reason Not To Be An Organ Donor

Religious obligations aside, I've always felt that there was absolutely no reason anyone should NOT be an organ donor. As my mom always said, "I'm not going to be using it any more…" As a matter of fact, I've always thought it should be an opt-out process rather than an opt-in process. Yesterday I was reading up on some volunteering opportunities to consider for this summer, and happened across some information that people who get regular IV infusions are more or less prohibited from donating blood. It's kind of ironic that the reason that I've overcome my fear of needles is also the reason I can't give blood. To add insult to injury, it stands that if I can't give blood, they're probably not going to want my organs either. So I guess now I have to go down to the DMV and take myself off of the list. That's an embarrassing thought, for someone who's spent his entire life preaching the righteousness of organ donation. I guess that means I have a better chance of becoming a cadaver for medical students or going to a body farm. Now where do I go to sign up for that?
