You mean forcing dead or alive people to be donors?

[@lizstar1998]

@@mickeymanson5681 lmao it’s not about forcing people. When people get their drivers license they get the choice of registering as an organ donor. You can also register through your states organ donor registry. Being an organ donor is one of the simplest and greatest ways to give back to people in need. You can help several lives by donating various organs that you no longer need after you have passed away.

[@tristana.8304]

Don’t sign up as an organ donor when you get your license. Doctors get paid when their patient ( whose an organ donor ) passes away. And some doctors will use that as an advantage and ( not all doctors, but it’s happened before ) not try as hard to save you so they can get paid. If i were you, i’d sign up online. that away it doesn’t go on your license.

As one who smoked for 45 years and never wore a dust mask at my jobs as an Electrician, now at sixty years old on oxygen 24/7 with COPD and Emphysema, I can really relate to this Woman in the fact that I abused my lungs, while she through no fault of Her own, was born with faulty ones.

whats COPD?

[@Soleilune1995]

@@anton_c8gur Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It's sort of like asthma, since it's also an inflammatory lung disease, but instead of the airways being constricted when exposed to certain allergens (as with asthma), it is instead caused by damage to the alveoli, which is where CO2 is exchanged for oxygen. People with COPD/emphysema might have to wear an oxygen tube in order to get enough of it.

[@z_hopster23]

When I was 13, I told my parents that if something happens to me and I’m declared brain dead with little to no chance of waking up, I wanted them to let me go and have my organs donated so my death wasn’t in vain. When my grandmother died when I was 15, I repeated that same statement to them. (Her death made me reflect a lot at the time.) it’s been a little over a year now and that still holds true. Watching this video reminded me of that, as well as giving me a comforting feeling that if something happens to me and I am no longer alive, then a least one other person can have a better life from my death.
