Title: Are you an organ doner?
Post by: Nancy5 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 am thinking about becoming an organ donor.

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.

I'm currently not a donor but it's an option for the future.

I was on the list but I don't know if I still am or not. I've got to check on it. Keep forgetting.
Thanks for the reminder!

It's okay if someone else needs them after I'm gone. I won't be needing them.  :angel11:

I won't need them when I'm gone so I'd rather help someone else live a better life.

I have several friends who have received donated organs and have a much better quality of life

yes, I am a body donor. I would like to help someone live when I die.

I have signed up to be, but because of the fact I'm still here to write this, I obviously have not done it

Yes, I have been an organ donor for many, many years.  Hopefully, one day someone will be helped with what I leave behind.

I used to be an organ donor but not in the last few years. As I'm in my sixties now I doubt my organs would be of use to anyone any more.

I was for a long time, but since I got sick a few years ago, I was told I could not donate anymore.  It sucks. Since I will be cremated someone would have gotten some use. But now I would not like to make someone sick.

Yes, I signed the donor section on my driver's license.  Anyone considering organ donation but has trouble making the decision should read some testimonials from people whose lives have been saved or quality of life improved because they received a donated organ.

My body is willed to the closest medical university to the point of my demise, or the closest one that can make use of it.

Currently not, don't know if I will in the future. Just haven't put much thought into it. Sounds like for a good cause, just don't have that much information.
