When I'm able to I'll certainly be putting my name on the registry. Three more years. 
So, in the interest of full disclosure: folks who are interested should read the information on the link Spirit Dancer provided. All it takes to REGISTER is a cheek swab. From that they can determine if you're a match to anyone on the waiting list. Donation is a different procedure if you should be a suitable match. But it sure is worth it if you end up saving a life!
