Just say no if you don't want to donate.
The clerk could care less one way or the other.

He didn't know. That's why he asked. Duh.

Yeah, that's it -- computers are a huge conspiracy at the DMV. You'll
notice that no other company or government agency uses such things.

Damn, you figured it all out. When emergency services is dispatched to
crashes, DMV tells us if the victims are organ donors. If they are, we stop
for coffee first and take our time. And when organs are scarce and our
"paid sponsors" are demanding more organs, we go out and spread oil on the
intersections to create more accidents.

Because someone else might be driving the car, or they might have passengers
who aren't donors. Duh.

There's generally no need for emergency services to know a person's organ
donor status at the scene, and no jurisdiction I'm aware of knows or informs
responders of that status. But if it makes you feel better to think
emergency services knows your donor status and gives a crap, then you go
right ahead and keep believing it.

It's really quite simple: If you do not wish to be subject to a country's
laws, customs and highways, do not visit that country.

Nice advice. The illustrative American Barrymore thought all Japanese
are shorter than him without ever stepping into that country. Look now,
no body wants an American in their neighborhood. Yet, Americans take in
immigrants as human shields. It is not that any country doesn't want to
drop a missile on America. It is just that any country is reluctant to
kill their own people living in America.
