Would you give your heart... ( Archived) (109)

Jan 31, 2008 4:54 PM CST Would you give your heart...
or any other of your organs and be an organ donor???

I was just watching Oprah and part of the show was about organ donors...It showed the families of the donors as well as the recipents, it was so awesome to see the family of the donors as they met the person who their loved saved or helped. It just made me realize that I made the right decisions a few years back.

Imagine what a gift that would be to give of yourself to allow another to go on after your time has passed. The gift of a heart...heart beating



I made that decision 3 years back to donate my organs when that time comes.


heart wings heart wings heart wings heart wings


Just a thought....teddybear

I am on a transplant list
...I am all good for transplants,
just not for science.

2 out of 3 of my children are also on transplant lists.

Hellooo Trudy hug Yep.. I've been an organ donor for 18yrs (thankfully no one has needed one of them yet) haha

I give blood 3-4 times per year.. and am a bone marrow donor too.

I'm very into all that.. like ive said on similar threads people are quick enough to TAKE and not care about where it comes from.. and not so willing to give back in return.

I don't mind my organs being used when i am gone, just as long as its not done the way the Chinese do it in the penal system there.

Something about being put to death after tissue typing and donors xcalled in before i am dead will make me nervous!!

I am an organ donor, as well as my body will be donated to Science for the studies in the Medical Field..

My husband passed away almost 2 years ago and his body was also donated to Science. Hopefully in the studies of his body they will find something which will help find a cure for Alzheimers, since he suffered with that for 6 years before his death.
