Has anyone ever thought of donating bone marrow or a kidney to a stranger? (19)
i'm an organ donor when i die. i'm registered as such and my driver's licence indicates it too. but for now i need my organs i reckon, maybe that's selfish i dont know, but when i die medical science is welcome to whatever is useful

That is a good thing too psuedonym.
I have donated my whole body to science but found out not all are good candidates.
It is amazing how you may have bad vision but it could be perfect for someone else.
Who knows what can be done in just a few years time.
Martia: Me too.
Hi Martia
hollandgirl: Thank you Sir.
I was thinking of either one, not both procedures.
I don't know how I or my doctor could decide who is worthy.

Regrettably, I don't believe you can.
Nor should you be able to, many firmly believe.
I do not subscribe to that. I would want to know I hadn't help save a bloody child molester or cretin of similar ilk.

I understand the recipient, lol how do I spell that? Is able to find you after one year. I am sure if the donor wants to meet the person.
On the one hand I would want to meet on the other I do not.
I understand the recipient would want to say thank you.
For myself I don't need that and really would prefer to just fade away.
Just to know even from a distance that someone's life has changed and not only that one person but the whole family perhaps would be all the thanks I care to receive.

If I was a donor, I probably wouldn't want to meet - if I had helped to save a decent person, that would be good enough for me.
Conversely, though, if I was a recipient, then I would owe a debt of gratitude that I could never repay, to someone, somewhere.
I would want to look that person in the eye, shake their hand and say thank you.

hi All, great to see, well interact with you all again.i am a regular blood donor and i am thinking of becoming a regular plasma donor but i can't do both at once. I am on the organ donor registry for my organs when i die. If someone I loved was in need of an organ that I could help out with, i wouldn't bat an eyelid, a stranger on the other hand, i would have to weigh up the pro's and con's coz if something were to happen to me, then my kids are in limbo and they are my first priority.
good for you hollandgirl

Hi Ralf, yes not having kids and being older makes it easier for me.
Eventhough the plan is to beat my mom who died at 94 1/2 so I do plan to stick around for a loooooong time yet lol
Bye the way my name is Jenny or Jenn as some say. Take your pick!
I am not allowed to give blood as I have high blood presure.
I wonder if my age is against me, well will find that out soon.

What is the different with being a blood donor and or a plasma donor?
it is not the same procedure?

it is a pleasure, Jenn
I am not sure if you would still qualify to give plasma coz they only take the red blood cells and put the rest back in you. i haven't done it yet but my mum does and she can do it often whereas blood donation is only every 3 months. i gave blood only a couple of weeks back so i can't do it until then. It is also restrictive if you have travelled to particular countries too.
Googles tells that people who donate to a stranger is becoming quit common.
Donating a kidney is the number one chosen part.
The waiting list is about 8 years to find a donor.
Found a phone number to call my own province.
Could not find out the age limit that is if there is any.

I don't know about Australian's but many Canadians and American's often don't understand it.
I remember the comic strip "Andy Cap" that many did not get.
Many good programs came from Britain.
"Keeping up appareances" and "On the busses" just these two and several game shows that were adopted here.

You're most welcome - that's what profiles are for - although I think the 'jury is out' on my sense of humour (or lack of, perhaps).
You are indeed correct that many classic comedy programs came from Britain.
Humour is much under-used, except in Government, of course. I mean, politicians must be having a laugh if they think we really do believe what they say ......
Humour is to be made by ourselfs.I love to laugh and do so a lot.I get so much stuff send to me and pass it on.I did find out just about a year ago that my humour is slightly sarcastic but not the mean kind.

A sarcastic female ?
Gee, I never heard of that before.........

I need to find out more about it as I am no hero to pain.
I don't need two kidney's so have been thinking about that for some time.
Does anyone know more about this?
