Leasha- you have to be on life support and have that switched off to be an organ donor. Your organs being donated would only ever be a secondary outcome of that decision being made IYKWIM. The hospital will always try to save you- because saving a life is the first priority. But if it is deemed that nothing more could be done then switching off life support would be discussed with your family and if that decision was made then they would discuss the decision to donate your organs.

I'm signed up and have a very supportive family so I know it would happen. My H's mother is JW though and he kept putting her down on things as his next of kin. I explained to him that I'm his next of kin and I will support his choice for organ donation so he needs to put ME down! He does now. Not sure what would happen if we were both in an accident though.
