UK Transplant site for registering as an organ donor.

If you haven't done this, and there's no reason you want to keep your organs after you're dead, please consider it.

There is also information about living kidney donation and bone marrow donation.

For blood donation the National Blood Service is useful.

In the US, registration for organ donation is state-by-state, but you can find more info on your state here (http://www.donatelife.net/). For Virginia, the site is here (http://save7lives.org/). Other states have their own sites.

(I work for the place that does organ/recipient matching for the entire US (http://www.unos.org/)).

As far as I remember I'm carrying an organ donor thingy.

Yay! (I hope you guys don't start priorritizing based on age, though, as I've heard is a possibility.)

I've signed up, but I suspect they wont want my organs. Residual drug traces and stuff. They certainly don't want my blood anymore (and not because I fainted everytime, its because I need it more than the Blood Service apparently).
