There's no such thing.

As dignity, as dignity in death, or as auto-erotic asphyxiation?

Dignity in death.

It lends a certain mistique and legend to your death. Just look at David Carradine. Now there's something nobody saw coming.

Lolpun

And to others, a feeling of embarrassment for the person. The guy was in his seventies and was in Thailand working on a movie, despite already having made his name in movie history. What the fuck convinced him to to this in the first place? My guess is that he had already been doing it for sometime and grew over-confident with doing it, but still.

Are you sure about that? My quick skim of the UK National Blood Service website seems to imply that both of those groups are restricted from giving blood. The anti-MSM rule is strange in that they ban gay men forever, but anyone else who might come under HIV suspicion is banned for only a year. That's what the rule is in Australia; MSM are banned for only a year. Who wants to go with me in January to donate?


As for organ donation, I'm not on the roll but I keep intending to go on it. I ummed and ahhed a while when I first got my driver's license because the Jewish religion puts some restrictions on it - if you die and they cut out your organs, that's fine, but if you're in a coma/braindead they can't harvest your organs until your heart stops naturally, which restricts some donations. In some countries, the forms allow people to be specific in the terms of how they want the donations to happen, but not here unfortunately. In any case, I'm a bit over the religious stuff, so I'm planning on signing up. Although it seems odd to me that I'd be allowed to donate organs but not blood.

What convinced him to do what? Appear in a film he wanted to do, or perform a sexual act he wanted to do?

Yeah, donor here, mainly due to the attention its being given using ads etc here in The Netherlands :) (And thats a good thing)

I plan to become a donor when I actually get round to it.

The sexual act.

When I die, I might be cremated, have the ash made into glass, which is in turn made into a small statue of me for the mantlepiece.

Now THATS an idea!

Since the conversation is heading that way (and may eventually need to be split), I’m hoping that either promession or a vegan alternative to resomation are readily available for my non-donatable remains.

I'm not allowed on account of fear of AIDS.

How so?

That would be due to your history of drug use, right?

That would be correct.

To be clear, I don't have AIDS.

You'd think a simple test for blood-borne pathogens would be worth all of your delicious organs.

You'd think.

It's like the 80s never died.

Organ donor here :D

I plan on being cremated, so there's no fucking point in keeping them.

Alcar...

Fixed it for you.

Most people should plan on being dead at some point. Dying intestate with no expressed wishes or life insurance is a fantastic way to fuck things up for your family.

Remind me to rethink this in 200 years time. When I get waken up on my Cryogenics bed.

I'm actually going to arrange a life insurance for myself soon, as it obviously cheaper if you do it when you're young.

Yes, I am a donor of sperm. I give my secretions freely to the hungry and needy children of the nation.

I want to donate my eggs... I have no use for them.

send 'em over, fucking love omelette's.

Yes I am.

W, T, F?

^ I second that.

That's kind of a weird analogy...

I posted it in the blog and I'm posting it here.
