You choose which ones, and exactly how far each one goes. ### Organ and tissue donation Removing your name from the organ donor registry withdraws your yes. It does not record your no, and that is the difference that matters. - Your organs, eyes and tissue, and your whole body - Every purpose: transplant, therapy, research and education - No family member, agent or hospital administrator can donate for you - Replaces an earlier registry entry or driver’s license designation [Your state’s organ donation refusal →](https://wearabledocs.com/states) [Registry removal vs. a signed refusal →](https://wearabledocs.com/organ-donor-registry-removal) ### Vaccines Refuse vaccines and immunizations, and decide for yourself what happens after an exposure. - All vaccines, including those given under a standing order or facility protocol - Shots after an exposure, such as tetanus, rabies or hepatitis B: refuse them, accept them, or say which in your own words [Can a hospital ignore a refusal? →](https://wearabledocs.com/health-rights/can-a-hospital-refuse-to-honor-your-treatment-refusal) ### Blood Refuse donor blood, and choose separately about blood fractions and your own blood. - Whole blood, red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma, from any donor - Blood fractions such as albumin, immunoglobulins and clotting factors: refuse or accept - Your own blood returned during or after surgery: refuse, accept, or accept only in a continuous circuit - Every other treatment still asked for, including transfer to a bloodless medicine program [Can a hospital ignore a refusal? →](https://wearabledocs.com/health-rights/can-a-hospital-refuse-to-honor-your-treatment-refusal) ### Brain apnea test Refuse the apnea test, the breathing test used in an evaluation for brain death. - For any purpose, including determining death by neurologic criteria - No provider, health care agent, surrogate or anyone acting for you can consent to it [When the hospital declares brain death →](https://wearabledocs.com/health-rights/when-the-hospital-declares-brain-death) ### Any refusal you already have Already signed a refusal somewhere else, like a religious directive or a form from your lawyer? Keep it in the same secure record, behind the same code, and sealed every time it is opened. ## What your documents say In the words of the documents you sign. ### No one can consent for you “No other person may consent on my behalf to anything I have refused above.” ### It speaks when you can’t “Silence from me is not consent, and a change in my medical condition is not a change of mind.” ### Refusing is not refusing care “Refusing these products is not a refusal of care.” ## Put your refusal where it will be seen Your record, your personal page, and the code that lets others find it.
