    I love how it's an inline four soundtrack when the bike takes off at the end.

    So wear your gear and don't donate organs so doctors get to buy a fifth house and a lambo.

    That's just dumb. I didn't check to be an organ donor because I want to be fully intact when I get put beneath this earth. It's like you're asking someone to choose between being cremated and buried. Is that what I would have to do so that you don't think of me as a worthless piece of meat? Just an example.

    When I donate, I'm not going to care too much 'cuz I'll be dead. Take what you need.

    I have no problem being parted out when I'm dead.

    If the last thing I do on this earth is help someone else see, breathe, pulse, piss or walk then I'm OK with that. I cannot understand the point of putting a perfectly intact body into the dirt just to rot away when other people with futures could benefit.

    It's not just dumb...it's true. You aren't worth anything if you aren't an organ donor. Something that will never be for sale is worth nothing to someone looking to purchase.

    Not only are you not worth anything, you actually cost money.

    So, if you lose a leg in an accident but don't die, what then?

    If you still think that, don't tell Army Ranger Joe Kapacziewski.

    Re: How much are you actually worth?

    If we're really worth something, why aren't we allowed to sell organs for profit when we're alive?

    I think what everyone is trying to say is that you should only be worth something if you're dead. If you're still alive, you're worthless.

    I'm guessing his got blown to bits, but in situations when they are surgically amputated, what happens to the parts? Do they cremate them?

    Should only those with money be able to buy new parts? Because I doubt Army Ranger Joe has a million dollars laying around for that new leg. And if the market is allowed to be competitive, will Health Ins companies, and the VA, still be able to afford buying all these rapidly high priced parts? I'm torn because I do believe their your body parts, so you should have control over them. But maybe we as a society have legally agreed that this is the kind of thing that should not be reserved for only those with the money? Or would profitable parts suddenly mean that all those lower income people who want to be buried with everything suddenly become more accepting of the idea and flood the market with slightly abused kidneys.

    This video ad suggests that if the rider wear all that gear, then they are guaranteed to be safe. Not true at all.

    Time to get $30,000,000 worth of gear... if you don't spend 30,000,000 on gear at STG then your just worthless and cheap.

    I agree that you really shouldn't donate. Most people who get donated organs don't last that long anyways. They are sick and they must take lots of drugs to keep them from rejecting the organ. Either their sickness consumes the new organ or they rejected it and die anyways. It may provide them a few more years of suffering though. Also as stated the doctor gets a Lambo and your family gets nothing.

    Is this sarcasm?? Or personal opinion/ trolling? Organ donation improves the lives of many in measurable and permanent ways.

    I'm a donor and I'm all for it. I'll be done with it all, part me out. It does help many people.
