Organ Donation - Pro or Con?

[Jacksson_77]

I didn't say they were "evil doctors" -- in fact, all MDs and RNs that I know of, that most everyone knows of, are very dedicated to their bound oath to do no harm.
Some doctors just have to make that judgemental call, and sometimes that comes down to probability on whether you will live and/or what quality of life they think you will have.

Why did you demonize my statements into such a simple-minded conclusion?

I have to apologize to you, I really misread your post. Sorry for that.
Now, it's right that sometimes it's the doctor's decision if you will be kept alive or not. I'd surely rather give away my organs so that others can live than staying in a condition that one may call "living" but in fact has not much to do with it anymore.

And that is my viewpoint as well, hence why I am an organ donor.
But I can see why others might not be and can completely understand it.

I think I gave sound reasons why someone might not.
And I have nothing against people who choose not to be one.

In fact, it's not stopping to realize that some people do have sound issues for not doing so that it's rather arrogant.

E.g., you're much like the type of person that guilts me everytime the Blood Bank comes around for donations, not stopping to realize I have clots with the crappy equipment and (often) unlicensed volunteers they have on-staff in those things.
I still give blood, but I give it at my doctor's office where they have better instruments for my body, instead of giving me a clot everytime, keep repoking and re-trying to take blood, and not taking it seriously when they are creating a possibly serious medical condition for myself.

ah, no my friend.. my point is not that way.. giving your organs does not cause pain because you are already dead..
me, i'm a needle phobic.. and i don't even accept to give my blood for analyzing for nearly 10 years.. so i can't be one of that people (and i don't see this as a responsibility).. but as long as you're dead, no problem

Why not donate your organs? You're dead, you're not gonna use them anymore.

On my license, it says I am an organ donor. They asked me if I wished to become one and by saying yes, I agree to donate my organs and that my next of kin does not have the right to say no to that.

I said yes cause why shouldn't I?

 

[Elwood70]

Yes I am.

As for what shape they'll be in,I can't rightfully say.


BTW,you can always have what's left cremated.


The body is only a vessel.

The only thing I have against it is what prof was talking about. Now if Im dead def then yeah give em away.

Dont forget about the rumors about some paramedics not working on u as hard because you are an organ donor. Like yeah he could survive but he is an organ donor.
Hopefully those rumors are false, but yeah as long as im dead donate em why not.

I want my balls to be kept in a jar when I'm dead, but the rest is for anyone to take.
