No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

That's why I would ask could I meet the person it is going to? Or ask how old they are or something.
In a volunteer-based organ donation, this is pretty feasible for a donor to know who's gonna receive their organs. However, in a scenario such as the one you implied with your "To me everyone should be (organ donors)", together with the increasing ~~enshittification~~ automation of every aspect of society (e.g. a computer system for organ matching with few or no humans in the loop), organ donation would end more like an "IRS tax declaration" system wherein you interface with a piece of code, in order for the organ transplant system to deal with such a sheer amount of donors and receivers. In other words, both the donors and the receivers would likely become mere "matching numbers" inside a DBMS and you, as a donor, would only get a machine feedback "Status of your request: ready for donation" or something in these lines.
Maybe I'm being too pessimistic, but I've heard and seen several cases of inequality of access to healthcare. In my country, for example, a rich and famous presenter (Fausto Silva / Faustão) from a big TV station (Rede Globo) got to receive FOUR transplants in less than two years through our public organ transplant system ("Sistema Nacional de Transplantes") in less time than expected, while less-famous people have literally died waiting for heart and kidney transplants.
Also, and I'm not sure about the veracity of this specific news case I'm linking here, because I was unable to find any other sources confirming this specific case, but it seems to me that there's the possibility that both the donor and the recipient can be simultaneous victims of a fraud from the administration of an hospital: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/organ-transplant-scam-uncovered-in-jaipur/articleshow/112053902.cms
