it's a funny thing. for some reason organ donation in australia isnt mandatory. in some countries, like france for instance, its mandatory. if you feel strongly about it, then you get an exemption. i think thats a great idea...

I don't, but I value individual human life and dignity. They don't in Europe, generally.

you mean like 'this guy needs a transplant, we value his life, so we'll make sure he has that option and not wait for years because no one could be bothered to do anything about it'?

Not sure what's being talked about here, but I would get pulled over every other month and always let go with a warning. Until I renewed my driver's license the time before last. I said I'd be a donor so they put "organ donor" on my driver’s license and I got three tickets that year.
I declined to be a donor the last time I renewed my license and I haven't gotten a ticket since, but I've been pulled over just as many times.
Maybe it’s coincidence or maybe it’s because the extra text on my driver’s license pissed off the cop, either way, now I’m not and I don’t get tickets.

It's one of those it's funny cause it's true things.
I became a donor because they started printing it in bold letters on your driver’s license. I thought if I got pulled over and the officer saw that I was a donor he'd cut me some slack and if he saw I wasn’t he’d be more inclined to ticket me. But I ended up getting three tickets with in the first year of becoming a donor. I was so pist that they weren’t instructing officers to look the other way for donors that I asked for it to be removed the next time I renewed my license.
The woman at the DMV was bewildered by my request. I guess when people make the decision to help their fellow man by becoming a donor they don’t reverse that decision.
If I’m pronounced dead at the hospital my friends and family know I could care less what they do to my body(I no longer need it), so they’ll donate it for me.
It’s the principle of the thing, why have it printed on my drivers license if it’s only good for helping a stranger after I'm dead?
