Organ donor's right to choose

As everyone has the right to choose to be a donor
What is your opinion of the donors right to choose who gets the donated organ

Would you want your lungs to be given to a chain smoker or your liver to an alcoholic

After all if you have chosen to treat your body with respect and your organs are healthy enough to be considered suitable ...

Should you not have some say in the use of them

Do you mean giving your organs when you die? In which case you don't really know where it's going do you?
But of course it would be nice to be able to choose.

Now when you're still alive people usually do it to help a relative.
it is something to consider. going a step further, and since one leaves their valuables in a will, might one also leave their organs in the will to be sold? the survivors might appreciate the extra cash.
Good question Blue handshake
an interesting one too...in a daft round about way we get to play God.

My opinion is a donor should NOT have the right.
No Dan you don't but perhaps you should ...
dunno
Free so your saying sell your organs to the highest bidder
help
Why not witch if people can refuse medical help such as blood transfusions on religious grounds why can I not refuse my organs to a certain person on my own ethical grounds
devil
Because i think Blue it would be unfair and unjust... plus it would be a harder call to make than you think.
OB, sell for the estate.
Ok let's start the bidding


Free what organ do you want and how much you willing to pay
.cool
OB, I've got a spare kidney up for auction.
Blue" I'm actually disappointed with your reply...
thought you were better than that.

Good thing you're not God.
That's ok witch as I don't believe in God
Then the point and your opinion of me is a mute point
My opinion expressed on this blog is exactly that....

hug
You don't... ok then lets exclude God.

Organ donations go in a list, next in line is a 76 year old woman, accident happens a 22 year old woman/mothers life could be saved if she were given the donation instead.. for all the right reasons and to me what makes perfect sense, you donate to the younger woman.. but if the 76 year old woman were my mother all sense would go out the window because personal matters more even if and when wrong.

so again i say NO.. the call should not be ours.
Everyone causes their own health issues. So, it wouldn't matter to me who got what. I'm dead! What the hell do I care? However, I don't think I'll donate my organs. I think the sooner humans die off the better.
lol Gypsy.
Hey, Gypsy, do you think CS is uber morbid these days?
it's a great place to go for the bereaved.
i bet if you googled "dead" CS would be listed first
i think some people should be prohibited from being brain donors
Any of you ladies organ doners uh oh
What a snot you are free.
Itchy, I for one, should be prohibited from donating my brain. who wants depression?
Free, you are NOT snotprofessor

I would love to have your talent, Free. In which organ does that redide?
Reside
*Itchy making my point, regarding CS, beautifullysmitten
i make one comment and the world explodes. wtf?
Itchy, just have another whiskey and enjoy the evening wave
Itchy, i don't care if i'm remembered. really i don't. what good is it?
Free" the good is knowing your life made an importance and if not for you than for someone ...
Itchy, whatever may come, I lived, for how long is a mystery, but there will be many to follow in a few hundred year's time.
So....if I bring up dead people and donate my organs, then I'll be guaranteed that others remember me after I croak?
And here I thought all that rememberance and generosity was for unselfish reasons. Now that I know there's something in it for me, I might reconsider

As the blog has taken a strange and unsettling path towards the morbid and macarb

devil
Every dead Croatian citizen is by the Law, a potential donor. For not willing, we have NO DONORS list at the desk of Health insurance, and such one need to sign on it.
I personally would prefer to donate for a child, but it depends on some other suitable factors of the particular organ and the receiver. Whomever. It is as well a professional secret. What is good is a pity to be buried or cremated.
It's lethal. So unless you're ready to donate your organs and be completely forgotten, better keep your opinions to yourself, Free
Why wait until they are dead bloody ?
wink
rolling on the floor laughing that's not gonna happen. expression is my coping mechanism
What?? Call a name and then run off? That is as lame as it gets. But fairly typical
ok all, i'm a selfish snot. i'll update my profile
No idea where all that came from. Must be some email whining going on between Itchy and some member who consistently paints himself as the hapless victim of unwarranted confrontation. roll eyes
