everyone had their own... its their problem they fucked them up.
Thats pretty nasty. What if one day you needed a lung or a liver transplant. Would you be banking on someone thinking like me? Or someone thinking like you?
after your dead you don't need it anymore anyway...why not let someone else use it?
i can't guarantee the condition of the good shit though, i know by that time my liver will be shot....certain drug and alcohol combinations have fucked that years ago
im not an organ donor. ive thought about this subject for a few years now and still cant make a valid decision.
i have certain beliefs & thoughts on the subject. One of them is "I wanna leave the world with what I had comin in to it."
and the thought of somebody else having an organ of mine is too weird for me. BUT at the same time, I am good hearted person and think that maybe I can give a couple of people a second chance at life.
Then on the other hand, what if god intend that person to be born and/or have a problem that the person has. And then me trying to be a nice person, give an organ to that person and then thats fuckin up gods plans.
So, im still up and down...but techically right now, I am not an organ donor. We'll see what happens in the future though.

Pretty controversial Issue....
I didn't fill any papers yet....But I might do it in the future...don't know yet.....
The problems with this , is that since nobody knows what comes after death , many people are scared of it ,or has religious/soul toughts about it..
Does anybody knows if the catolic church said something special about it ?
Not sure...thats also one of my many factors..im catholic also.
Well..Just asking coz many people follow their rules..
Not all of them might be correct (in my opinion) like Use of condoms , etc but wel....still people follow thier rules
I dont think my liver or lungs will be any good and my heart and splean will probably be shot but as long as any other organs other then that will be good sure

I recently had my father pass away and he had been a registered donor.
I was contacted by the local eye bank and asked if I would mind if I was contacted by the person who recieved the gift of sight due to my fathers donation. I accepted of course.
Let me tell you it feels really nice to hear the gratitude and thankfulness these people have for what they have recieved.
He even offered to help pay the bills dad left behind for me, I felt like an ass even considering it, I turned him down with a big thanks but no thanks.
I am a donor and always will be.
There is a real shortage of bone marrow/blood cell donors around the world. Almost 70% of the patients that need a transplant cant find a suitable donor.
You dont have to die to donate bone marrow, its a very safe procedure, you will be back at work in a day or two.
Three years ago, i found a suitable donor in Germany, his bone marrow saved my me from the sure death of Leukemia.

i would just be worried that doctors may not be as eager to save you being that you're an organ donor. Like say a 15 year old needs a liver, and you are older person with a bad heart and probally only have 5 years left tops, but are on the table during heart surgery. All of a sudden there are complications and you are being recesitated. Now your tissue matches the tissue of the 15 year old. Don't you think it may pass through the doctors mind that you're a donor, and your tissues match, and your 65, he/she is 15 and has their whole life ahead of them? Just maybe wouldnt they give up recesitating you a little sooner being that you are a donor to save the other person? That's my only fear of being a donor

Forgive me if this sounds cold, but I have no plans to donate any of my organs unless there was some financial benefit for my heirs.
If there was enough there to cover ones final expenses, donations to charities, or open a small trust for their family, I would bet we wouldn't have the shortage of organs there are today.
Another option is a market based economy on organs, and market prices would be paid to the donor's family, 12 year old Bobby would surely be worth more than say 52 year old Sy.

Tell that to the little 9-year old girl who got hit by a drunk driver and both of her kidneys are damaged beyond repair.
I'll be donating. It's on my license, my family knows, I sign the agreement over again whenever I'm at the doctor's office or hospital.
Gladly. Take 'em and do some good with 'em.
What a depressing thread. Not that I ever doubted that there were this many selfish, materialistic people on GFY, but it just smarts to have it slammed right in your face.
Sad.
I think it's cool that the majority are donors. That could be the greatest gift someone will ever receive. I just can't take that risk of them not trying as hard to save me if they could save someone with better insurance with my parts.
Much love to those who are. I'll probably need a part or two before I die.

Not to insinuate I concur, but I do find it distasteful that a person gives their organs for free and then the hospital makes a ton of money by charging the recipient for them. Some compensation should be paid to the heirs or the organs should be free for the recipient as well. Plus, I really don't like the idea of the doctor who is in charge of saving my life being financially compensated if he fails.
