  • @svevus you are missinformed . Yo seem to lack the education to make a informed choice. You clearly do not understand the impact that organ donation has on giving someone the chance to live, I feel sorry for you.

  • On July 15th 2011 a Transplant saved my daughters life. Thank you for sharing your story its so important to parents to understand that children need child size organs. We almost lost Kourtney durring the transplant . I cried watching your video because for a hour I thought my daugher was not going to live. I felt that pain , its the worst ever. After 400 days in the hospital Kourt is now doing well and on the road to doing everything her illness would not allow her Her donor family are my heros

  • @ThaIllestBro In organ trasplantation the are many nasty sides not known even to doctors. A leading transplant surgeon was used to say : "If we inform the public properly we won't be able to procure organs any longer".

    A video of the entire procedure of explant is a good starting point to decide about explant and donor card .

  • @svevus What do you mean by "tragedy of explant"?

  • im proud to say im a organ donor and if the tests come back as a match i might be giveing a 10 boy in my town my bone marrow everyone should donate organs, bone marrow, & blood its the moral thing to do.

  • I am an organ donor and I truly believe that this is the last good deed we can physically and practically do on earth.

  • I donated. I fully regret it. I will campaign for not donating.

    You do not know the tragedy of explant.

    Donate is orwellian newspeak for quartering & disenbowelment.

    I interviewed hundreds of kin. They are all against organ explant.

  • I am so sorry I hope u are okay

  • I'm very sorry... Your story made a difference. I'm signing up to donate.
