Im sorry but my body parts are staying in my body when i die.....
If I could select who I could give them too on the waiting list.. So No rich annoying people got them then I would consider it.. But Id be dead so you cant pick etc
 
Just signed up for my drivers license and ticked the box.

I'm not religious or anything, I'm not going to be using when I'm dead so I figured why not.
 
I said no because they're all knackered anyway - save them time looking for a good one.
 
Let me start of by saying that I donate blood every 2 months, platelets every 4-6 weeks, and I am on the bone marrow list. In fact, a few months ago I was a match for a 12 year old who needed bone marrow, but in the end, they found someone closer to him to donate. I also am CMV negative, which means that my blood/platelets can be given to infants. So because I am CMV negative, and not many CMV negative donors donate, I donate as much blood as possible.

With that said, I am not a organ donor. I don't mind having my organs donated after I have died, but there has been countless of articles and reports over the years citing that when doctors find out a patient is a organ donor, they don't do everything possible to save the patient. In the end, regardless if it's true or not, I want to make sure a doctor saves me for me, not for my organs. But I have written instructions that allow my next of kin to donate my organs after I've been declared dead.
 
sorry, i want to be buried in one piece. i believe that the soul cant rest properly if your body is not all in one place. i dont have a problem with donating blood or bone marrow, but, my organs are mine dammit. now, if i had to donate a kidney or something to save my wifes life, or my children's lives (future children that is) then i would consider giving something up to save them, otherwise, nope.

Although I don't see anything wrong with anything you're doing, and in fact I respect you for everything that you are doing, I don't think that story about the doctors doing that is true.. and it angers me that there are stories like that published in papers as it will put many people off donating.

Doctors generally do whatever they can to save a life, not let one go to save another.. I reckon they'd know they have no right to do that.

On a similar note, if you're deemed braindead would you mind being simply.. let go? As I've peviously stated I'm not religious or anything so I have no reason not to.
 
Robert: Are you aware that the organs only can survive for 4-5 hours after death?

Newsflash people! When you die; and choose to be buried, your body firstly gets squashed by the weight of the soil above you - then your rotting flesh gets eaten by bugs. It's not like you need them after death.

By donating your organs you can save up to SEVEN lives. Just imagine if you were on a waiting list for one.
 
Yep, I would donate my organs.. I mean, I hope I would've had a great life and a full life. I would love to share it with another person. I'm not really religious, but I believe even if I donated organs when I was religious I would reap the benefits in the "afterlife" for saving people.

I was questioning about life/meaning/death for years. Only recently have I made the conclusion that I don't care about any of those things. I only want to do some good in the world so there will at least a few people who would've known me/ heard of me years after my death.

There is no meaning to life. Just live... And help others on the way.
 
i would rather die than to have someone else's organs. if i am dying and i need a transplant, then it must just be my time to go. that is just how i look at it. yeah, i would want to try to save the life of my wife and children, but, me myself, i would rather just pass on.
