KrazieStill: Maybe it's just me but I'll donate when I'm done with them.
Krazie that is okay as you are still giving and it is needed now and later too.
Good for you!

hollandgirl: I had asked to be put on the list for; "Donating a kidney to a stranger list:
Received an phone call this morning.
Because of having high blood presure, I do not qualify as it may affect the kidney.
What a bummer!

Wow! What an honourable thing for you to consider! I have never thought about donating an organ while I'm still alive, but I'm listed as a donar when I die. I try to donate blood every time I go home, although, they can only use my plasma since I've had malaria in the past. I'm not sure if this would prevent me from organ donation? I should look into that.

I have decided to not donate anything before my kid(s) has been born and grown to adult age, as I think we could need all "spare parts" within the family.
My body is already signed to the common good when I pass. Which reminds me, I should change the writing there to let my wife have a say over the use as well.
Must respect her religion too.

Donating organs saves lives. It's a really good thing to do.

Thats wonderful! At least you tried. You have to do whats right for your own body also. I applaud you. Im a B- which is one of the lesser prevalent blood types so I give like crazy. You never know when they will need that type. Thsts nothing compared to an organ donation.

My blood type is a common one but for the same reason HB can no longer give blood.
I thought to of donating bone marrow but again too old.
I would prefer to give a kidney as having bone marrow removed is very very painful and I am not good at tolerating a lot of pain.
It looks like only stemcells are left.???
I do believe that in the future a lot of body parts could be re-used.
Like limps.
Well at least I can leave my body to science after I am dead.
See even when dead we can be good for something.

Good thread Jenny! I donate blood 2 times a year, am on the national bone marrow registry, and organ donor designated on my driver's license.
You're right to be bring attention to this serious matter. My brother received a liver transplant - without the generousity of the donor, he wouldn't have had the time he had with his 2 children. He has since passed due to rejection complications - however, the time he was given was well used.

If you are able please donate upon your death,it's like part of you will live on.I worked in a hospital and I saw the joy of someone getting to live because someone gave something when they didn't need it anymore.Be someones hero please.
One reason I had to put this on this forum is too draw attention to the need for organ donor's.
By life or by death it is all wanted and needed badly.
I sometimes give too; "Operation Eye Sight" long after you have given and really had forgotten about it, you receive a message that mr/mrs so and so, can now see thanks to your donation.
Wow!
