I was only kdding

I'm waiting for the road kill list

Even so the eyes alone can go to several people so what could be more precious then the gift of site to those that can not see?

yes ive been a donor since age 16

Those are shot too, most of my body is shot because of drug use.

i`m donating my bunghole for preparation h research

no, 'cause mine are so old, I don't even want them anymore.

I am absolutely an organ donor. My late husband always felt very strongly about that, but due to his cancer, he could not be one. So I am one. It is so important. A gift you can't buy. A gift of love for mankind.

your 24 so when did you start drinking and doing drugs to do that much damage so early?

It is still a personal and deeply intimate decision... and if one feels their organs are not useful for donation, that is their decision, also.

When I'm done with it, they can have whatever they want. I won't be needing it. Even donating your body for medical research is a worthy cause.
In short.....Yes, I am an organ donor.

As an OR nurse I have participated in both the implantation of donated and the procurement of organs to be donated, as well as living related donor procedures.

There is an emotional toll on people involved.
If I never did another 'procurement' I would be fine.

Last one I did, they used a device still in the trial stage, that keeps the heart perfused, as well as beating. Pretty strange to see a human heart beating in a plastic box that looks like a lunch cooler.

It used to be you had to be brain dead before donation, not any more.
If there is consent, life support can be removed to allow
"Cardiac Death" to occur. I don't know if I could participate with that one.

Soon, they will be able to clone organs for transplant with out fear of rejection.

Started drinking at 11, drug use started after that. Started smoking marijuana at 18, still do that...quit everything else.

but not soon enough

Suppose I should be more specific; I drank from 11 until I was 22-23. Used drugs from 12 until I was 15, stopped...started smoking marijuana at 18 (first time ever), still smoke marijuana.

Wow, that's an interesting take on all of it. Makes ya think.

Not soon enough for me either.

me too

but from 12 to 30 or so

if they had told me kidney failure ran in my family back in the 80's I mght not have

I have been a organ donor since I got my first license at 16.It is unbelievable to read that people are so selfish that even when they are dead they are worried about losing something they can't have anyways.I wonder how many good people have died because some idiot didn't want to donate his kidneys or liver because he somehow thought he would need them after he died.

So how many organs have you donated?

Thankyou for an inside view...I am not sure if we have similar legislation, and I know talking with my friend, who lost her husband, and donated his organs, he was declared braindead after a massive stroke...

I cannot say whether we have the same practices here...as I genuinely dont know... and I suspect for anyone having to do such types of surgery, especially on the procurement side of things, it would be quite taxing emotionally.

I can say as a relative of a reciprient, his family is incredibly grateful to the donor and his family.

I can also say if I had have been eligible for the transplant list, I would have accepted.... for whom? For me...selfishly I want to see my children full grown...

Not having that choice, is a tough one, but I am still reasonably healthy and get about, so I cannot complain.
