I just saw I put down to be an organ donor oj my drivers liscense, something i must have checked a long time ago. Is there any way for me to get myself off organ donation any list? UPDATE: Thank you guys for the info. I have some places to start, I know I can be a bit if an idiot but sometime we just need to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks again

Due to speed with which organs must be harvested, transported and used, the donor is kept alive and on life support before removal. This is not the same as removing body parts from a corpse. Both my husband and I changed our status to NON donor after researching the process. I’m just not that generous! And my relatives will not be pressured to make that decision.
Depends on where you live - first thing to try would be whatever site you'd log onto to renew your driver's license. In my state, you can't update the organ donor thing there, so I had to hunt for the site where that could be done, but I did get it done.
Goto the web site of the state license dept.
I was able to do it online in MD. I just went to their website and took donor off and they sent a new license.
If you live in Texas, it's easy. Go to the Dept of Motor Vehicles website, which has a link for "Donate Life Texas". You go to their website and UNLIST yourself as a donor.
The first step to removing your name from the registry is to either go on your state's DMV website or else call them to find out who manages the state’s donor registry. If you just want to do a quick search, most states' registries are shown on the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ site organdonor.gov.
In the state of Washington, LifeCenter Northwest manages the donor list. In Oklahoma, the organ donor registry is maintained by LifeShare Transplant. In Mississippi, the Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency, also known as Donate Life Mississippi, oversees the list.
You may be able to go to the organ donor registry site online, create a profile and un-designate yourself as an organ donor or limit which organs you will allow to be donated. This new record replaces any previous record, even if the donor symbol is still on your license. If you do not see a way to do this online, call the donor registry organization.
Good luck. Remember that, just because you remove yourself from a registry doesn't always mean that everyone gets the message. It might not hurt to print "NOT AN ORGAN DONOR, WILL SUE!!!" on a small piece of paper, then use polyurethane to laminate it to the back of your drivers license (not over the scan strip). :>)

Why, though? Do you think they'll kill you for your organs if you get into an accident? If they'd be willing to do that, what would stop them from taking your organs anyway, despite your card saying "no"? It certainly wouldn't be morals or fear of retribution.
For me, once I realized the deal, it's just the principle of the thing. I do not want to give permission, just like I would never "donate blood" to those vampires.
Would you also not accept anyone else's blood if it was your life or death? Honestly the blood goes to people, not vampires... It just seems paranoid. I've heard the stories, not that I believe all doctors and nurses to be 100% moral, but still. 99% are just regular folks who want to help.
I am pureblood for life, I would not trust blood from anyone that I did not personally know to be un-poisoned by jabs, and that is a hill I am willing to die on. When it comes to the "blood banks", that is not the doctors and nurses, it is entities like the corrupt Red Cross.

Let's be real. You can say that now, but I don't believe you'd opt for death or any blood you could get. Life is too precious and sacred to throw it away like that. When you're there, dying from bloodless, you'd take anything you can get, and you most likely would be unconscious and they wouldn't consult you what flavor of blood you'd like. Whatever's compatible. Most likely you won't ever be in this situation, so you don't really have to die on that hill. It may be the red cross sometimes, but here our local hospital does blood drives too and many smaller, local agencies.
Nope, I know where I am going when I die and I don't fear it.
Do you really know, without a shadow of a doubt, where you're headed?
Yes I do. That is the one thing I am sure of.
Tell that to Christian Scientists- you miss the point of a moral conviction
I don't know, is it easier? In my layman's opinion, a person's unusual / routine operation death would be investigated more than whether all organs are in someone's corpse (who died on the scene of an accident, for example).
I'm sure that medical errors happen a lot, our processes aren't perfect and neither are the erring humans. What I'm saying is, if you think your surgeon might murder you if you leave that box ticked...then how can you trust them to treat you after an accident, at all?
Ur family would object for one. You are still alive, so family would be consulted about donation. Make sure they know your wishes.
Unless they ban family from visiting like during covid.
Good point.
That's exactly why. I just lost a friend and he died with no one being able to save him or be there with him while it happened.
That so sucks. 🙁
Well, if it's my time to go, then so be it. Have my flesh.
The point is ur NOT dead when they start carving you up.
Guess I'd better be real careful not to ever have surgery again, that's suicide!
I just read thru your post history. Your comments are either purposefully obtuse, combative, insinuating an insult or divisive. Looks like you are just here to cause trouble.
Later.
I paid to get a new one and removed my donor allowance.
