As an organ doner this really makes me not want to donate my body.

How fucking hard is it for a medical school to keep tabs on this shit?

I haven't tasted the organ doner yet, hope it's as good as the kebab doner

I rest easy knowing I'll be dead. Of course, knowing my luck, I'll be the first person they bring back Frankenstein style and someone will have stolen my penis.

Why stop there? What if you get brought back to life in some Black Mirror horror? You could end up stacking boxes in a warehouse continuously until you rebel and they reset you.

You: no more! I won't anymore

Manager: shit you need a reset, hold on

You: wait what?

Manager: reset. You know factory settings. Every week or so I have to reset you to the moment you first turned on. There used to be an automatic one but the last iPhone update broke the app.

John Oliver did a piece on this kind of stuff in the US. It's an interesting watch. Both the "donate to science" and organ donation routes are important, however both are also flawed.

This is not the same as organ donation. This is people who think they are donating their body to medical or other scientific research/education.

Yeah that's a box that was on my organ donation form and I didn't select it because of other instances like these.
