Not a donor, and will never be one. I can´t bear the idea parts of the being plucked out after I die. Wether it´s for a good purpose or not.
People whom are close to me also know that I want them to pull the plug might I ever be severely paralised(neck down or worse) or in a state of coma.

Kinda selfish those saying I don't want to be one. You could have the choice of saving someones life, or killing them.

A/ If it's an open casket funeral, the deceased's eyes are CLOSED...
B/ They don't take the entire eye ball, the often take the iris (the lens part)
C/ Taking skin, do u really believe they take all the skin? jeez
Most skin that is taken comes from your thighs, chest, back. And taking skin is normally done when it's from young people. Old people are too wrinkly and stuff, so their skin is pretty useless for transplantations.

And on a side-note: Once u hit 50+ the chance of them taking an organ is really slim, cuz by then it's not in a very good shape anymore and therefore not suitable for young people.
However: there is an 'old for old' project:
Old(er) organs being transplanted into old people to extend their life. If u are old the chance of getting an actual transplantation from a young donor is very slim. Pretty good system, u don't need a organ that'll last another lifetime if u already are 60 or so.

Again: the above are the regulations for Belgium, afaik each country (or state) has it's own regulations concerning transplantations and organ donating.

Idk man, I'm planing on resurrecting on the 3'd day so having all my organs ripped out of my body would be quite a problem.

I've never understood why anyone would want an open casket, so I'm definitely not going to get one.

You could also have the choice of causing a massive organ failure due to your faulty/ incaptable organ.
