|

Hey K-friends!
Now, I've just recently signed up for organ donation in Korea. Foreigners are able to do this, so go to the website and fax in your info. You'll have to get a Korean to help you print out and fill in the sheet. They're quick, and I got my card within a week. FYI: Organ donation is still a new thing in Korea. Many Koreans don't like the idea. All of the Korean office staff at my uni were dumbfounded that I would want to do such a thing. I think its important to sign up and show Koreans that we're willing to share our hearts with them.

I doubt waygook organs will be accepted by Koreans.
They'll probably reject your organs because they'll think they are infected with AIDS and some other diseases.
They probably use your organ not to help others to survive, but for some school or human cloning research. |

Even if they don't use foreigner's organs, the medical students need to practice on something, right? I can almost see this happening:
Medical school teacher: "Class, today we dissect a human being and see what's inside. Take your scalpers out!" |
