ORGANS

Yeah, I'm from NZ, in UK.

Im an organ donor because when im dead you can have whatever you want of me im 95% sure i wont be moving back in.

but on a side note i reguraly travell down the roads in an exess of 150mph so if i wreck going that fast i imagine most of my organs will be all mushy

As Bunny said, in the US, people have to prove that they will take care of any new organs they have transplanted. The medical industry knows that organs are in short supply and they want to ensure that they give them to the people that will take the best care of them and get the most use out of them. The down side of this is that older people who have been on the transplant list for a while are sometimes passed up for a younger person who has been on the list a shorter amount of time because they'll get more use, i.e. years, out of the organ. It's all a relative situation.

I am a proud organ donor :bigsmile:

I'm not an organ donor because once I'm dead I cease to exist, so my body is just an item, and it's the decision of my kin at that point. Their property, their choice.

Edit: And if you're on the list that's a definitive statement of intent, which the kin can't override AFAIK, whereas if you're not on the list there are many reasons you might not be which are not statements of intent, and there is always the option for them to donate.

I on't recall how it goes in California, but my license in Missouri has either "Any" or "Specifically" on it, so I know at least some places in the US allow you to pick and choose. Of course if you're not in the US I have no clue.

I'm marked down in the "Any" section on my MO license, and it's with the families full support, so I'm fine with that.

Donor Kebab and proud

I don't have a lisence, so no it doesn't.

Who was telling me like yesterday that their aunt was dying because her liver is shutting down and they won't give her a new one because she's an alcoholic? I forget.

Yeah, I'm an organ donor.

I'll probably be one, maybe I won't be completely useless then xD

It's doesn't say tgat on my license but it says that on my college ID so i'm confused iabout this contradiction and if that means i can donate my organs if i cannot.

AHAHAHAHA

LMAO SHLUP!

I'm a donor! If they don't try so hard to keep me alive at least they are trying hard to keep others alive. Sure it's my life but if I can help more people than just myself then that'd be ok ^_^
