I'll Decide my Donor Status - Not the State

From the only local paper - The Denver Post



Under the proposal by Sen. Lucia Guzman, D-Denver, anyone with a Colorado driver's license or ID card would automatically be an organ donor unless the person initialed a statement opting out of the program. Currently, a person must initial his or her ID card to be considered a donor.

More nanny state "we will take care of you" hooey from our elected elite who know what is best for us.

I'll make that choice myself (and I have made that choice) thank you very much. I don't need the state to do it for me.

That was appropriately short lived. I think I would opt out on principle. I currently opt in.

Yes it was.

I am just amazed that she even brought it forward. Actually I am not that amazed. I just have to remember that the government gets first share of my paycheck too, why not my body as well.

My ID needs to say: Please dont part me out. Keep trying, I'll make it I promise.

I don't think they'd want any of my parts anyway..[Abused]

I believe everyone should be a donor if they are capable but it should be their right to say so and not having the government automatically assume they want to.
