Are you an organ doner? :poll:

[QUOTE="TehOverkill"]

Yes, but to avoid possible medical negligence, I have organ donation as a clause in my will, and not a red sticker in my wallet that virtually anyone can see.

This.

How does that work?

I most say I am impressed by the results...!

I would gladly donate blood and stuff, but whole organs, or my brain, feels creepy.

No but I'm probably going to. i would donate blood as well but they won't let me.

Yup, I've got everything for donation except my skin and bones, which weren't available on the tick boxes anyway. I'm pretty proud to have my donor card in my wallet.

My thinking behind organ donation is that if you were ever in a situation where you needed a transplant then you'd gladly except someone elses organs (unless it violates your faith) and so I think it's kind of hypocritical to not be a donor yourself.

In any case, my organs are of no use to me once I'm dead, although they may prove to be a good fertiliser for graveyard flower beds.

I'm not sure but i should be.

Yes.

edit: when people say 'yes'... are they referring only til after death, or?

Yes I am. I don't need my organs when I'm dead.

Same here

I donated everything because I wont need it when I die, also, you should give your organs because there are so many people who need it! My gf's dad needed a kidney transplant and without that individual who donated, he would have been on dialysis throughout his life!

I am also going to donate my brain to harvards brain bank! lol

Good to see a lot of organ donors here. I signed up after watching the live organ transplant skit on MOnty Python's Meaning of Life.

I am on a transplant list for a liver right now, because of a genetic disease, and seeing that most people here are organ donors is just great.

I am an organ donor for everything I can donate. :)

i would donate blood as well but they won't let me.

This.

As for organs, probably not. We should be trying to clone/build with the same DNA to reduce the amount of drugs needed to give to someone after the operation to force the new tissue into someone elses body; which doesn't always work anyway

[QUOTE="metalkitten"] my sis was pretty smart and said yes but not to smokers:P SkyWard20

[QUOTE="metalkitten"]i wont get into my personal reasons for it here since its very longluamhtrad

I still want to know.

sorry... in short i guess i can say that i really dont want another persons organ or blood in me, so i dont want to give either - im not gonna go into it further - nothing religious...more mental i would say (and yes i find it pretty hypocrite for a person to say no to donate but agree to get an organ when they need...)

i do encourage all who wanna donate to actually make sure to get card of it and make sure all and hospitals know or its useless and u only say u would donate but if u die tomorrow u might not be a donor since they need to ask ur parents and takes time and blablabla - so wannabe donors - check it up right now!!! cause there are many in need
