Organ donation (12)
I prefer to donate my piano.........
Seriously though, my drivers license declares I am an organ donor. Science definitely wants my brain for examination.......

I have a donor card, the same system as the US. I have also made a Will making my wishes clear.
However, after the path of complete depravity, debauchery and general complete deviancy that I intend to follow for the rest of my life, I'm at a loss as to why anyone would want my organs anyway..

Petal, you'd be surprised how many organs and other parts of the body can be donated. It's not all about donating a heart.
I believe in organ donation but I have not made note of that on my drivers license for this one particular reason.
I have no doubt that someone is going to call me on this but here is my reason. I have told my daughter that I will donate anything usuable except my heart..Reason is I want to be buried with my heart because that is where the love I have for her is.

I know what you mean Caspatch. I gave mine too to someone who wasn't worthy of it, but that was a different department than the love I have for my daughter.
In reference to black market organs, there probably is some of that going on, but there are legitimate doctors and hospitals that are not in the black market business.
Why let someone die because of the wrongdoing of others? JMO
Organ donation is a personal issue and I would never try to change anyones mind on it. However, I think the gentleman who won't donate because of "wrong doing organs", might be someone who sees everything as black and white and no exceptions.
I would dare say that almost every business, whatever it may be, has an illegal branch to it. Right here in cyberspace. We know we can be scammed (the real scam) but we still continue with the internet because we hope there is some good to it.

Loma Linda is a major medical center, not far from here. I was talking to a nursing student and I think I will donate my body to science. She was telling me that the bodies were treated with such respect and that it is used for so many reasons. They honor the dead and return it cremated to the family after it has been used. There is a time limit on the body. I have smoked and I don't think my organs will help anyone. I think they can gain more by the science part of the body. I have spoken to my daughter about this but I have not done the paperwork or the card thing. I still may have a few years to make up my mind.

That's what we all say....that we have time.
In an instant you could be dead. Sorry to sound morbid, but that's a fact.
People in the towers on Sept. 11th all thought "they had time"....
Don't put off to tomorrow what you can do today.

As I said, THEY have to decide for themselves. If my close friend died of tobacco-related disease as a result of all those years of abusing her body, does it seem right to you that she then goes around frantically looking for the lungs from a corpse that HAVEN'T been destroyed by the tobacco industry? As I said, the cause of suffering is ubiquitous human ignorance, and until people start waking up to what a handful of reptiles are doing to them in this world then everyone will have to continue paying the price. And remember, it requires an awful amount of intelligence to send a bunch of morons in a tin can to the moon and now to Mars (only, on the Mars trip the morons will need their DNA messed around with so that they can SIT in the tin can for the 4 year journey!). So don't be fooled by all those guys out there in their white coats with dollar signs in their eyes. However, I do have much respect for anyone who genuinely wishes to save someone's life, and that heroic Norwegian doctor in the Gaza Strip who saved the lives of countless Palestinians who were butchered by the jews is first on the list.
The entire "healthcare" system is parasitic by its very nature.

Snuggs09: Samb, I respect your opinion.
Do I understand you correctly that you would not accept an organ for a loved one when love and compassion couldn't save their life?

Maybe your heart or eyes can benefit someone else?
Or, is it against your religion to donate your organs?
If you believe in donating your organs, have you arranged in advance to do so.
Do your relatives know what your wishes are?
In the United States, we can check the box on our drivers license agreeing to donation.
If you were approached in the hospital after a loved one died, by a representative of the hospital to donate the organs of a loved one, but you don't know what their wishes were, what would you do?
In general, how do you feel about organ donation?
