I'm not an Organ donor, only because I use to be a smoker and from 20+ years of smoking, I doubt by the time I'm dead there will be any significant organ regeneration.
BUT I am an O-RH NEG blood type and I regularly donate blood to the Canadian Red Cross. Apparently O-RH NEG is a fairly rare type and O type can be given to everyone.
But a donor is a donor right..

At least your "HEART"'s in the right place!
BTW,,, KY D/L the organ donor symbol is a HEART!
I recently changed the address and they asked me to be an organ donor, I told them when they get thru doing the organ removal,,,, Just cremate me and put me under Dad's Veteran Foot Plate!

Erin, that is the most selfish, egotistical self-centered thing i have ever heard!! becoming a marrow donor, just so you can help someone else live a full healthy life!!
way to go kiddo!!
it is people like you that give me hope that the younger generation still cares about something beside themselves!!

Thank you all 
I really appreciate your support!
A friend of mine from college had a mother who needed a bone marrow transplant. No one in her family was a match and up to that point, no one in the registry was a match either. So she organized a drive to get people signed up, but the week before the drive was supposed to happen her mother passed away. I would say more than 60% of the student body showed up to get added to the registry.
Its a small amount of pain for me to help someone who's in a LOT more pain hopefully feel good again. I am excited to help!
