Let me echo those words earlier mentioned....TELL YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS if you want your organs donated! I have seen cases where a patient's license listed them as an organ donor, but the decision was overruled by their parents/significant other/etc. So, let those close to you know that you would like to donate your organs.
As a paramedic, I can say that I never looked at someone's license to see if they were an organ donor or not. It was my job to treat the patient, not to make a decision on should I/shouldn't I based on their license.
I am an organ donor. After one of my close friends from high school died in a car accident, and his parents donated his organs....I signed my organ donor card.
