Today when i was filling out my provisional dirvers licence form; there was a section which asked me to tick boxes on which organs to be removed in the event that i die on the roads. I felt really guilty leaving it blank, as there are people that need donors, but i couldnt.

How do you feel on organ donation ?

i'm unsure i can see the positives of giving up my organs (i went to school with someone who had a liver transplant) but i dont know not sure i could actually commit to it i do give blood though which is also just as important

I think everyone should donor their organs. You don't need them when you're dead and you save many lives.

I think I would, I'd prefer giving them to someone in need then for me to have them rotting away =|

I may sounds dead selfish but I couldn't. God gave me what I have today, I'm healthy, I just couldn't pureply for my family and for my integrity. I know it could help a lot but I'm selfish on that one. My body is my body, from birth to forever.

I do give blood regularly tho.

I have already said that I would donate after death. I will donate everything but my eyes and skin.

i dont care if people call me selfish.

I would never donate my organs.

I take my hat off to people who do but when i die i want to be buried in one piece. Not bits of me scatterd around the place.

If people feel that strongly about keeping their organs then I think we should have to opt OUT rather than in.

I'm on the list but only giving away internal organs ... eyes, skin etc are all staying in tact and they can't use my heart anyway

i'm for it, i don't need my organs when i'm brown bread so i'd rather give them to someone who does tbh
