Would You Give Up Your Eyes?

I often hear people say “Give the gift of sight.” But in most cases they were asking for people to donate old eyeglasses.
I KNOW that your eyes get decomposed after death and are of no use to anyone after decomposition.
I KNOW that your eyes can be used by another living human being if removed from you and transplanted within a certain period of time.
I KNOW that "One Eye Donation Can Make Two Blind People See." (thefreshquotes.com)
Even though I KNOW … I can't give up my eyes.
Please don't judge me and think me cruel to the living.
I know it's a good thing to do and a right thing to do, but I just can't.
Can you?
There is a great need for organ donors. Each year in the United States, over 46,000 people have their sight restored by the generous donations of organ and tissue donors.http://www.lcnw.org/donation/organs-tissues-for-transplant/ When you...

Donating my eyes will be a good thing after I die, I will love to donate everything of my body.
If I have a child, then if the child needs an eye, I will donate my eye for the child while I live.
That's a novel thing to do. Some people donate a kidney to strangers, and that's a very appreciated thing to do.
If I needed an eye, I'm sure I would like someone to donate me an eye.
I hope that there will be a technology to somehow make stem cells to grow into an eye, or every other organ required. No donations will be needed anymore.

I am a donor and whatever of mine is needed when I no longer do, they are more than welcome to it.
