Post by: LaKecias on January 22, 2015, 06:42:58 pm

Are you a organ donor? If not are you afraid?

No I am not an organ donor.  My history of cancer would make me an undesirable organ donor candidate.   :(

I am an organ donor.  They can have any and all parts that can help someone else.  I won't need them at that stage anyway.  Anything left can be cremated and spread to the wind.....or whatever the family wishes to do with the ashes.

I personally don't want a plot in a cemetary.

I am not! When my husband tried to get on the list for a liver, they turned him down! He passed away a year later.

Yes. What would there be to be afraid of?
I mean, yeah, major surgery when alive is very scary. But unless approached by a family member or friend, I'm pretty sure any organs taken from my body will be postmortem.
I'd actually like to donate my body as well, but may not do that, as my family was completely weirded out at the suggestion.

I am because I'd rather be able to help others after I'm gone. I know several people who have benefited from receiving organ donations and are living happy fulfilled lives that wouldn't be otherwise possible .

I've been an organ donor since I got my first drivers' license.
So far, no one has come looking for parts... :D

I am an organ donor and have been since I first got my license as well. But for those of you who have had or have cancer first off let my say I'm sorry. But there is so much they can use from a person that I'm sure would not be affected by the cancer. When my daughter died back in 99 we were told that had she been older they could have done a thin skin graft from the small of her back to help burn patients just to name one. There were other things as well. even with her having asthma from the time she was 18 months old we were able to donate. Couldn't use her lungs of course but they were able to use her eyes, heart valves and Kidneys.

I am an organ donor, I think it is a very good thing to be able to help people when you arent using them any more.
