Absolutely you should. My father died just over 20 years ago and we gave consent for them to take anything that they could use. As a result, 2 people lived a lot longer than they would have due to them each recieiving one of his kidneys.
It is an admirable thing to do.
I live in Australia and last year just over 320 families consented to organ donation...just think of all those that died that didn't donate. It's a shame to think people suffer and live shorter lives because people don't consider it.
Organ donation is not for everyone, but for those that have no problem with it, why not make your wishes known.
Who knows, one day you may need to recieve a donor organ yourself.
