Some people’s religious beliefs would sway their decision to keep their organs. Other people just don’t care. ---

FYI - checking the back of your license isn’t really good enough. NY has an organ donor consent registry, where you give explicit consent to donation. See: [http://www.donatelifeny.org/enroll/enroll.html](http://www.donatelifeny.org/enroll/enroll.html) Otherwise, if you just check your license but don’t tell your family that you want to be a donor, your family has the right to say “no”. ---

If there are good parts that can be used elsewhere, let people have em! 🙂 **Hopefully they don’t let me die just because they need my parts though!** That is why I am NOT one. Doctors can say what they want about that not being true, but it is very fucking true. I don’t think that was the case with Lindsay, but it happens. So sorry to hear. I really hope her family pulls through this okay. ☹ ---
