Yes I am, but IMO people (except for those under 18.) should only be allowed to get organs if they're a donor themselves.

I have donated a post to this thread. I'm too young to donate anything else.

No... They could get death by fault or manslaughter for that.

In canada you have to be 19 to be a donor, but are considered an adult at age 18.  But I will be a donor in about 7 months.

As if anyone could prove it. It's actually statistically proven (perhaps coincidental), that people who are donors have a less likely chance to survive.

I've been hit by a car and broke my leg. Fell from a tree. Bruised my knee twice. Got cut across the head. Almost killed by gunfire and suffered in the hospital for 10 days after brain damage. Yeah, I'm the one that needs a donor, seriously.

Right. It's like giving blood, but it goes through this contraption, where it separates the plasma, then returns the blood to your body.

they could look at it like, instead of wasting time and money to save someone who has a high chance of dieing, let him go, and us his organ to save someone with a better chance of survival.

Not to mention the unimaginable cost that will be charged for the transplant itself, as well as numerous rehab sessions.

I can`t donate even if I want. ¨ Ì`m epileptic and take medicines... donating blood is out of the question. Donating sperm... well, I wouldn't want an epileptic son, so, why inflict one on a marriage...?

No because I don't want my organs to save someone unworthy of life...

EDIT: And imagine this: You're 40 and get to the hospital after a car crash. You're dying, and there's a kid waiting for a heart transplant...

As soon as I legally can. Organs and blood.

 

I had blood work done for the first time today, and I barely felt anything. So as soon as I can I'll donate blood.
