  1. RE: aus.social/@oscarjiminy/117053

    i'm an organ donor (used to be almost expected for motorcyclists) and feel pretty ok about it but to be honest i know nothing about laws/guidelines/protocols that regulate the industry

    i'd expect that if i had viable tissue it would be used in an emergency transfer situation that more or less correlated with the time of my death but the idea there's a company who harvests every bit of viable tissue that is preserved and sold at a later date (as my donor's apparently was) is kind of sickening, though that probably makes me naive in the extreme

  4. @muskanity Conspicuously missing hashtag: #OrganDonor

    Second only to the conspicuously missing helmet.

  5. Finally filled out my #OrganDonor card.

    I obviously don't know when or how I will die, but once I do there's no reason not to give some final assistance to someone else.

  6. @TeflonTrout

    It is for that reason I am not on the #organdonor list.

    Will a day come when the State decides that my organs would better serve "the greater good" in someone else's body than mine, even if I still need them myself?

  7. #BostonWeekend 3/x
    Friday noon - #CopleySquare Trinity Church does weekly music on their huge organ setup, its free but the program keeps going if you can kick in $10 - which would make you an #OrganDonor

  8. I feel like if you're a witness to this you don't just refuse to take part while someone is telling you to find another person to do the procedure. You stay with the patient, prevent anyone from harming them, and if the procedure isn't halted you call 9-1-1 to report an attempted murder. I mean seriously WTF!

    PS. I'm still an organ donor.

  9. Just filled out an Organ and Tissue Donor Registration form. I think it can also be done online.

  10. Surgeons place a #GeneticallyModified pig #kidney into the body of a brain-dead patient. The kidney is still functioning after 32 days.

    This is great, awesome, exciting, and even groovy news. But you should still register as an #OrganDonor.

  11. I would like to know how a #dnr works for someone who wants to be an #organ #donor #organdonor .

    Could some #medical people please weigh in?

    Please #boost so I can get a wider feedback, thanks

  12. Surgical teams worked through the night to give my friend a double lung transplant. It went well and her new lungs are working, though there is still a long road to recovery ahead. Please sign up to be an #OrganDonor if you are young enough! #GiftOfLife

  13. Even outside the political stuff, this #timeline is still stretching the bounds of believability. Maybe when the #WGA strike is resolved, we can get a competent #writer to fix all the broken bits.

    e.g. even the most diehard, skeptical rationalist can't completely dismiss the possibility that, say, Peter Thiel, or another tech-adjacent #plutocrat, already has one or more #clones on standby as perfect organ donors.

    Unlikely? Yes. But not beyond possible.
