based on some Act in Singapore Law, when you reach 21, should you meet with any accidents and is brain dead, your organs can actually be donated if you never indicated a preference not to. so it also means that us ignorant singaporeans never know of such laws, never sign any agreement yearly, hence it is up to the government to decide our fate.
and now, there's another law that states that at the age of 18, you can pledge organ donation.
i'm not against organ donation. i understand and recognize it's a good thing, but the whole talk on monday was an ultimate turn-off. because of that speaker, i think twice about organ donation. he was a horrible speaker. what he said was not felt in his tone. he said stuff about how important these donations are to many people who have been waiting for years for a kidney or a cornea. but he was shrugging, shaking his head, closing his eyes as if memorizing from a script. on the stage. and we could see all his actions because we were right in front. i was so put off and i think the whole cohort was cos we were laughing. i don't feel bad for him because i really do not see the passion in him. i mean being an organ coordinator, you need to know what's your job and truly care for the people. but i see and hear nothing in him.
ha, anyway, i'm not 18 yet. haha. don't have to be bothered about it yet.
