Another thing to be aware of as an organ donor, if they harvest organs from you they do not use anesthesia. Organ donation requires the body to be kept alive, which means, while you may not be conscious, your brain will feel the harvesting pain.
After I read about this process, I changed my designation. You can do it online in Texas.
When I read about it, it made perfect sense, why would they need to anesthetize you if you are essentially brain dead enough to harvest organs? Essentially you are just a sack at that point, but just because your brain is dead, doesn't mean you won't feel the pain.
