I seriously considered taking myself off the donor list when I learned that it might subject me to vivisection. But ultimately I decided I wouldn't be willing to turn down being the recipient of an organ donation, so it's a risk I now accept. Anesthetizing donors should be made standard practice though.
- spookybones 4y agoI also considered removing myself from the donor list after reading about live vivisection a while back. But, I looked up how to remove oneself as a donor and couldn’t find any information. Also, I renewed my license recently and did not mark that I wanted to be a donor, and it stated that I was one on my new license nonetheless. I am still undecided on the subject because I would like to donate organs to people in need when the time comes, so it doesn’t bother me too much.
- MichaelCollins 4y agoIt depends on the state of course, but in Washington you can visit a Drivers Licensing Office to update your donation status and get a new card (which is free, if you're only changing your donation status.)
- nomel 4y ago> it might subject me to vivisection I’m having trouble finding anything about this. Do you have any references. This is a bit terrifying!
