Organ & Tissue donation

You know how for State I.D's you can get a pink dot on it that says "Donor"?

Which I guess means that "your wish to save lives will be honored upon your death and will not require consent of any other person."

I signed up for that but I feel weird about it now.

It feels like I've betrayed my parents, sort of.

Because If I die in some sort of accident, and they find my card, see that it has DONOR on it,they can take my organs and my parents won't have a say in it. My organs will go out to some random persons they don't know.

But it will save a life,so...

Weird, though, that part of me will be in someone else.

Do any of you have that pink dot?

If you don't have an I.D. yet, would you get it?
