I dated a paramedic a few years back, and he used to tell me NOT to be an organ donor. He told that if he arrived at the scene of an accident, if the vic was designated as an organ donor, there is a point where they will determine that if the injury is critical enough, they won't try as hard to save the person as they have to start worrying about harvesting the organs, versus someone who is not an organ donor when they will still continue the life-saving effort. Is this true?

The most recent posts kind of cancel that theory out, I would guess. If they need a living will or a relative's permission in order to use your organs, they're not going to decide whether or not to save you just from looking at your driver's license.
