I'm an organ donor.

But do your organs even function properly anymore? 0_0

[lemonette]

I figure I'll let them sort that out later...

[runawayfae]

I hate to be contradictory, but there are excuses. I, for example, can't donate because I have hepatitis C.

[lemonette]

I understand that some people cant, perhaps you could help by spreading the word and otherwise supporting organ donation!

[sheepinarowboat]

Do it today!? But I am still using my organs. At least wait until I don't need them anymore. LOL

[lemonette]

SIGN UP today, you silly rabbitt! :)

Yeah I'm an organ donor.

But I also need an organ.

I'm 14 and I want to be on the organ donor list. I'm not sure if my parents will support me but my view is that you aren't going to need them when you die anyway so someone that has a chance of living can have them.

no, i can´t put a price on a life.but i also think, that i don´t need to do these things if i don´t want them, or?narkose is this what you get to sleep while having a surgery in a hospital.i´m sorry, my english isn´t so good.

[xForeverMinex]

well, for me this is way to much.blood or blood plasma is one thing, but bone marrow is to much for me.i donatet between 2000 and 2006 38times a year bloodplasma and i had some hematomas.and sometimes when a rookie wantet to put the needle in the vein, it i refused because of the risk.i´ve seen some reports om tv. that it can be went bad because of the nerves around this area.

xForeverMinex What is NARKOSE anyway???

[Luvbeags]

xForeverMinex, You can stay awake if you want for bone marrow aspiration. Feels like a root canal on your leg, but you can stay awake if you want. Trust me, I've had many blood draws, probably more than the average person. If someone "hits my vein wrong" the worst that can happen is I get a hematoma, which goes away in a few weeks.

Can you put a price on a life? My life is not less valuable than anyone elses, but who am I to judge I deserve to live more than someone else?

To harvest your organs, your have to have TWO tests that show you are brain dead. So, if they take your organs, you would have been pronounced dead, twice.

Your family can request a third party (one not related to the hospital you are in) to also pronounce you dead.

I look at it this way, I'm POSITIVE I'll not be buried alive by mistake!

luvbeags, bone marrow?but you know that you need te be sended to sleep to donate your marrow?who would do this for free?there is allways the risk of the narkose.;)and also donating blood can be dangerous if a rookie (i was a donator and know what i´m talking about) hit´s you vene wrong.
