don't be a donor!

i saw this episode on the tv show 1000 ways to die, about a guy who was driving drunk and crashed and when the ambulance arrived, they assumed he was dead, but he wasn't, they saw his ID had the donor sticker and began taking his organs out, all while he was watching!! The name of the episode is Drunk Die-r.

Even if you don;t drive drunk, which you shouldn't, EMT's could assume you for dead, when your'e not.
