Carry an organ donor card, as well as a note giving details of my next of kin and my wishes re what to do should I end up in an accident that leaves me in a vegetative state (harvest organs, switch stuff off). Am happy to donate anything useful, bar my eyes...there's a somewhat unreasonable squick involved with the idea of someone taking my corneas. Once I'm done being useful, cremation and joining my granddad in the family plot beside the chapel he designed. Or an eco burial somewhere nice and peaceful.
I don't think there is much of an issue with corneas anymore. I believe SOP is to use synthetic ones. Mt dad has had both of his replaced with synthetic ones.
Aha! I did not know that. I wonder why they still provide a ticky box for eyes on the donor card, then? But at least I don't need to have too bad a conscience for not ticking it now!
