Organ Donation
 

The morbid thread on funeral arrangments has prompted me to ask...

would you donate your organs?
Why or why not?

I am not an organ donor. I cannot donate my organs because I am a diabetic. I also cannot give blood because of this.
If I wasn't a diabetic I think I would be an organ donor though. I mean, if I'm dead I certainly don't need my organs. If they are healthy, why not give them to someone who needs them.

I am.

I'm a organ donor.

I am an organ donor too. I figure if I'm not going to need them, why not give them to someone who does?

I agree with everyone else, I am an organ donor just because I doubt I will need them if I'm dead.

No. I do not believe in the desecration of my body.

Lady Pi Phi,

I, too, am a diabetic... I would both donate blood and my organs if I could. My husband says he "makes up for the not giving blood part" by donating blood on a very regular schedule. :)

I give blood on a regular basis, but am not an organ donater. It's hard for me to explain, but I'm not exactly proud of my stance.

Yepper, on My Drivers License and in ,my will!

Rudey, you are the only one who thinks your body is a Temple!:eek:

Bad eyes, liver like a rock, pancreas also another matter, lungs well!

But can be used what the hell, why not!:)

Yes, I am an organ donor. And my personal stance on it is that if I would accept an organ, I should be willing to give one. Of course, for people who absolutely cannot donate for health reasons, that would not apply.

I am a organ donor too. Can't take your body to heaven so might as well help someone still on earth.

I'm an organ donor.

What he said!
Funny my family (mom, sister, et al) was not too happy about my decision.

They have this weird notion that if G-d forbid something happens, and they see I am an organ donor, they will not work as hard to save my life :rolleyes:

But hell, I ain't gonna need my organs after I am dead, so they might as well be useful to someone on Earth

If you've ever met someone that's alive today because of organ donation... well.. I mean, how couldn't you?

i'm an organ donor.
not to sound mean, but i think its useless (and selfish) to keep your organs after death if you are otherwise able to donate them.
