I am an organ donor, but I strongly hope I'll never need to donate

I'd donate everything, except my eyes. I just have a thing about my eyes... I'm really attached to them, and the thought of somebody taking them out of my head freaks me out. Even when I'd be dead. Sorry. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I'm seriously afraid of needles too, and get dizzy just by getting my blood checked. But I still went to donate blood a few years ago. Though they told me I couldn't because I have an allergy, and because I was on medicine. (It was a relief though. [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Spelca, actually I feel the same way! The idea of my eyes being removed and used really freaks me out in a totally irrational way. They seem so much more personal than my liver or pancreas or something.

They won't take blood because my temperature is slightly above normal. I've tried 4 or 5 times and it's always the same thing. They can take my organs but I absolutely would not want to donate my body for medical school use.

OK, this last one worries me? They won't take your blood because your body temperature is above normal? I'm 35.1 deg Celsius, will they take mine?

I must say that it would suck to sign organ donor card only to end up a cadaver on a slab in med school.

Actually I don't think I can give blood because I don't weigh enough. And I agree with not wanting to give your body to science. I remember a couple of years ago we were studying brains and we had these heads-in-brine (or something lol ). The head was cut in half, down the nose, and you could still see exactly what the guy looked like; he still had his eyelashes intact and everything. And I admit, we laughed a bit
