- cj 4mo agoThe parent edited their comment, wasn’t there when I replied. But if you believe your organs don’t die when you die, then don’t donate your organs?
- mmh0000 4mo agoUm... I, 220% disagree with that statement. I did edit to fix a spelling mistake, I did not add/remove content... I wish HN showed the edit history >:(
- mmh0000 4mo ago> if you believe your organs don’t die when you die, then don’t donate your organs? Because "I" don't know what "I" am. Am I a brain? Am I a soul? Am I the universe? I have no idea. Science currently has no idea. Religion is unprovable. I want to donate my organs. If my death can bring life to others, it would be a truly amazing deed I could do. On the other hand, if I am just a brain, I do not want to be locked into some sort of drugged, half-conscious state where I can't scream.
