When I renewed my DL to an adult DL, I signed up for organ donation. I'm type 1 diabetic as well. I am a firm believer in blood donation as well, but Central Blood Bank will not let me donate since the medication I take for my diabetes makes me give a false HepC positive (yeah, that phone call was weird.."yea you test positive on the rapid test, but you don't have it"...meanwhile I was in tears thinking I was dying).

Seriously, I'm dead. What good are my organs? Theyre just going to rot in the ground (more creepy than someone else having them, in my opinion). I know lots of people who need kidneys, livers, lungs, hearts...and if I can give a family a few more years with someone they love, then I'd love to do that. I don't want to be burried, I think it is a waste of land and I don twant people to come to a stone and cry about it. My hope is that I'll be cremated, my ashes spread somewhere in a ceremony, and rather than a headstone, have someone donate the money that would go to a funeral to a good cause, and maybe put up a wee plaque. That's it. That's all I want.

And I'm glad someone else saw the "Don't take your organs to heaven.." sticker.
