Title: Are You An Organ Donor?
Post by: JaniceSW on March 01, 2018, 10:02:29 am
I just got my driver's license renewed and signed up to be one.  My new license shows that I am one.  I figure that someone may as well benefit as I am not going to need anything in my body any longer.  If I could help someone in such a way, that would be like bequeathing a legacy.

I want to be a organ donor but I have autoimmune disease (lupus) and was told I cannot give organs or blood.

For those of you that are not sure about organ donation you need to think about how many lives you can save.  Thousands of people die each day waiting on organ.  When you die your organs go with you but you do not need them in the next life.  So why not donate them to keep someone alive.

I'm an organ donor. I don't know if ultimately that will ever help someone, but I like the idea. Those parts won't be doing me any good any more then. It's a pretty personal decision though. I understand others may not be comfortable with it.

Its nice to think that after my soul has left my body my organs may help someone.  Another reason to keep living a healthy lifestyle.

I do have organ donation on my drivers license but I don’t ever remember telling them that I was okay with that I just have to figure out what’s right for me before I pass away

Here's a thought,why don't you ppl sell your extra organs for real money,you women can also sell your eggs,be surrogates.....I'm sure it's better money than Fusion.

I was one for years, but had to change when I was diagnosed with cancer.  After my chemo and radiation I am now taking a oral chemo, which stops me from being an organ donor or giving blood.

I think it is very commendable that you have declared yourself an organ donor. I would very much like to do that myself but I am already too old to be able to provide any organs that would be of much use to anyone else.

Yes, I have been an organ donor for many years.  I hope there are still enough body parts in good enough shape for someone else to use when I get through with them.

I used to be but when  I got real sick with my gall bladder and had to be in the hospital for a while, I some how  ended up with Hep c.  although  it is under control and it can flare up at any time.  Sure would not  want any one to get it from me.  Never again will go to a hospital that does know what the heck is around there. Yes it was small what we call a band aid station and  wasn't as clean as it should have been. They have been down graded a lot and  almost lost their license to be a hospital. Not just me but  several people came down with it.

I am an organ donor.  Any part that is needed and usable is available once I am dead.  Bones, eyes, all organs.

I would like an open casket for viewing so the family can have closure and "say good-bye".  After that, I would like to be cremated.

When I renewed my license a few years ago I signed up to be an organ donor. If something were to happen and my organs are still healthy I don't see why they should go to waste.
Title: Re: Are You An Organ Donor?

I am.  If my organs are in good shape when I pass and they can help someone else, then why not?

I don't donate because when I die my whole body will be donated to the nearest medical hospital for med students to use in their studies.
Title: Re: Are You An Organ Donor?
Post by: pectacon on March 08, 2018, 09:02:31 am
I think I am. Better to be able to help someone with parts I'm not going to be using anymore.

Yes, I am. I figure, I'll be dead and want to be cremated anyway, so what use do I have for my organs. Pay it forward.

I am not an organ donor, but my family knows if something happens they have the right to do whatever is needed even though I haven't given prior authorization.

I wasn't until recently when I got my license renewed.  I am 33 and after a heart attack at 28 I realize that any day could be my last.  So I stopped putting it off and went ahead and did it.
Title: Re: Are You An Organ Donor?
Post by: cathy37 on March 13, 2018, 04:08:01 pm
No I'm not.  I don't that I have any organs that someone else could use.  I have bad eyes, a fatty liver and probably have some kind of heart trouble.
Title: Re: Are You An Organ Donor?

Yes I am and have been  for years.  My father was the recipient of a heart from someone which extended his life so we could enjoy him for 11 more years. 

I feel it is my duty to repay the favor that someone did for our family.

I switched to be an organ donor the last time I renewed my driver's license. Though theoretically it will be a while before that ever is utilized.
