A uncommon topic which, never often brought, but indispensable in our end-of-life decisions: Disinterested and impartial signatories. Let me elaborate:
The question and problem is, who is or can be this disinterested third party? I don't have anyone. Most members of this community, myself included, have nobody left that cares. Let alone anobody that would care to spare a pen to sign their signature on a legal document they are not obligated to sign, especially if they are not a beneficiary to.
I don't have anyone. Could someone please offer to sign as disinterested party in my ScienceCare application attached below? Just scan email back.
Also, if anyone knows anyone in need of an organ transplant - I'm here. I think I have Type O blood last I checked, which would make me a universal donor (don't quote me on that, have to look at my bloodwork). But before I CTB, I'd want to give someone who wants to live their chance to do so. They're entitled to to have their life, as much as I'm entitle to take mine. Someone who want's to live shouldn't have to die. And someone who wants to die, shouldn't have to live.
I am fully willing to commit to surgery and the process (while I still have the energy). If anyone knows anyone in need of a live organ donor for a transplant, send me the paperwork and I'll go under the knife. Won't need my kidneys for long. Seriously, DM me a synopsis of the medical case and the paperwork, and as long as it's not a case of a chronic alcoholic but a kid or a good person you know that need a donor, talk to me. I'm going to come back and edit this post with links to some relevant organ transplant volunteer organizations in this undertaking. But I don't have the mental energy at this point to elaborate further ... my will to live already depleted let alone write, but to get to the point:
Could someone please offer to sign as disinterested party in my ScienceCare application attached below? Just scan email back.
It reads: the eligible signatory can only quality as a "Disinterested and Impartial Witness (Cannot be one of the following relationships to the DONOR: spouse, domestic partner, child,
parent, sibling, grandchild, grandparent, guardian, power of attorney, or any member of the consent legal order for the state of donation
and/or cremation.) I hereby confirm I am signing at the request of or in the presence of the Consenter.
Note, at the "request" is mutually exclusive from "in the presence of." Meaning the signature would be valid at the request but need not be in the presence of. So someone's scanned signature and circling back would be a valid signature.
The other objective of this post was to raise the question of whether we, as a community united common suffering, could become signatories to one another, for altruistic causes or other very important end of life legal hoops?
I will come back and edit when I get some rest to post some important links and re-wording/cosmetics.
- You may wake up in hospital, paralyzed or quasi-vegetative state, unable to communicate. This is not an unrealistic event of an CTB misfire. It's important to have legally valid DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order in place to bar first responders from making that unspeakable outcome a reality. As with most living wills/Advance Directive/DNRs, they are not valid, unless signed by an impartial and disinterested witness.
- You may elect to have your body donated for science. Your body, if preserved timely to be eligible to qualify as an anatomical specimen, will be instrumental for researchers to in their discovery and pursuit of cures from cancers to Alzheimers. If you're going to CTB, why not in vain, but for a greater good cause? But the paperwork, again, requires at least one signature of a disinterest witness.
- You may elect to CBT in a specific manner (specifics omitted) which would make your organs eligible for donation. Except for few methods, 95% of suicide cadavers are not candidates for organ donation. Specifics aside, if you may wish to go the organ donation CBT route and give the (fruitless) gift of life to a dying kid in a hospital? Who would otherwise die from kidney failure at the mercy of an organ transplant waitlist. Complex CBT method aside, there's also the ex ante legal paperwork in an advance directive to acheive this, which again - requires, in part, the signature of a disinterested witnessing party.
- You may not be alive to feel the the lasting reverberations of your death on the people who may have known you (if they even care), but realize the disposition of your body will remain a burden to your family or society. Funerals are not cheap. The body guts cleanup companies are not free, nor are the transportation costs, which are are highly specialized quasi-commercial services specializing in transporting your remains to and fro. You may feel you are a burden to society and better off dead (as I do). But wait until you're dead. Spare your family the final burden. Creating a living will now, for cremation or whatever. This again - requires the signature of a disinterested third paty.
- You may or may not elect, in an the utmost selfless altruistic act, to donate a kidney, lung or portion of your liver to a stranger before CTB. To unconditionally donate a lung, kidney or whatever to kid fighting for his life let him have it, before taking your own. Again, that needs paperwork (in particular to an Advance Directive before surgery in the event of complications) which again - requires the signature of at least on disinterest party.
The question and problem is, who is or can be this disinterested third party? I don't have anyone. Most members of this community, myself included, have nobody left that cares. Let alone anobody that would care to spare a pen to sign their signature on a legal document they are not obligated to sign, especially if they are not a beneficiary to.
