Are you an organ doner?
« on: August 23, 2014, 03:00:22 pm »
Have you made a decision to donate any or all organs?  I have a friend who will donate his body to science.

I'm not officially an organ donor but I am not opposed to the idea.  Since I plan to be cremated anyway someone else might as well get the use of my organs that might be useful.  Ideally, I hope to live a long life and by the time I die my organs won't be much good to anyone!  ;)

I would but no one wants mine. They are all pretty much in one way or another, not functioning optimally, so I am not a candidate.

I am a organ donor on my driver's license.  The doctor's can harvest anything they need.  I won't be needing any of my parts anymore when the time comes.  A lot of people can be helped by one donor.

My organs are so worn out nobody could use them anyway.

I probably should - considering I will have no use for them anymore - but I am not. I believe I should leave with the organs that I entered this world with.

I checked it off on my license. I only hope that if anything happens to me (knock on wood) that my family knows that I am and that they pay attention to the little check mark

hmm, I am not sure if I am an organ donor or not. Most of my organs are pretty much messed up so I do not think they would be able to use them anyway.

I am enlisted for organ donation in the event something does happen to me. If I can save a life during the process I'm all for it. I'm just pessimistic my body would be probably messed up by that point that none or little will be salvageable.

i'll try to be but it might or might not ever happen because im iron deficient also i can't donate blood because of it but i wouldn't know if they'll clean out the blood or not when i pass on (but yet again i do have internal probs that they might say froget it). Also im going for cremation when i do pass on & its going to be nothing fancy just stick me in a cheep box & set me on fire then throw my ashes just keep a little metal name plate of my full name to those that show up.
