I knew the Livestrong bracelets had moved beyond their original intent and
had become a fashion statement when I saw a soccer mom wearing one as an
anklet.

that would be a good place to have it. sometimes they get caught in a sleeve and
I loose them. though I can usually find it again. I am always finding my wife's
laying around.

Gave one to somebody who was in the hospital. They refused to
wear it -- in fact, they already had another one they'd taken
off. Something about confusing them with a DNR bracelet (Do
Not Resuscitate). I don't know whether this is (a) urban
legend, (b) general medical practice, or (c) something
specific to this particular hospital.

Those are most commonly orange coloured, AFAIK. A colour blind nurse
or EMS responder might confuse them.
I had an organ donor dot applied to my drivers license until I started
riding the bicycle again and dreamt about laying by the side of the
road and desperately trying to scratch if off while ambulances were
wailing in the background.

I saw an interesting application - one wrapped around the rear hub of a
built rear wheel. Of course this means that it was built into the
wheel. It seemed to just spin along happily when the rider rode. Of
course it could be cut out, if need be.

Hub jewelry.
