to wait until you are dead to be selfless
quoting note1cas…z6ty"I wish so badly the U.S. would switch to opt-out. My parents were literally breathing down my neck when I got my drivers' license (I was 18, but was stuck in an unhealthy situation) & did not let me sign up for organ donation. Because of further complications & various circumstances that prevent me from switching citizenship to a different state despite living elsewhere, I still have that same license, & it won't expire until I'm 65. I don't anticipate dying any time soon (I'm only 26), but it continues to bother me so much that if I were to die, all my NOT genetically fucked organs would just... go to waste. I plan to make my intentions clear in the event that I ever know death is coming & can, but even still, I've heard that this is no legal guarantee they'll listen to you over what it says on your license."
