I'd have it off someone but not give it back, no matter who it was.

This is a somewhat personal subject for me...

Yeah, I would be more than happy to receive an organ if needed and even more happy to donate mineshould I die.

As many people as possible should be registered for organ donation. If you aren't, and want to be you can do it here;

A personal one for me too Happyland, for a Family member who a transplant came just too late for when I was 14. That made my mind up for me on this issue.

I have just registered on line just in case.
I am a donor card carrier for quite years.

Long time ago, I was mugged in front of my front door. A boy snatched my bag and run away. But the night the boy came back, brought my donor card back!!! (He left the card in my bag, damaged. I noticed somebody was there because I heard a noise the night)

It would be grate comfort to me if I knew if I could help somebody that way.

I'm signing up for organ donation.
What use are mine when I'm gone? might as well give them to people who need it.

[MTVN]

I feel a bit weird about the whole thing tbh; both recieving an organ and donating one. It'd just be a bit strange to have someone elses inside of me and also to have the organs that have been a part of me my whole life just taken out and shoved in someone elses body.

I'd like to become a donor, I may well do it, but I would need to be sure first and the same with recieving one.

[Vicky.]

I'm already on the register.

Though I dont know if I would actually take an organ (given the choice)

And I would give anything to a member of my family while still alive too.

I also give blood and that...mostly because my dad had a horrible motorbike accident when I was very young and needed like 20 pints of blood, and I used to sit and think about if the hospital had had no blood at the time :/

[Jack_]

I suppose when I'm dead they can have what they like. Not while I'm alive though. Never. Only for very close family. And blood...ugh. Freaks me out.

[BB_Eye]

People can do what they like with me after I die. Well okay, I draw the line at necrophilia or getting exhumed.

But anyway, 300 years ago, it was common practice to bury people en masse in unmarked graves. I don't see the harm in that either.

[Boothy]

I feel a bit weird about it tbh, both giving and receiving.

I wouldn't take an organ from someone voluntarily, especially if I could survive without it. And in the same way, I wouldn't want to donate an organ, whether I be alive or dead.

However, if I did take an organ, for whatever reason, I'd definitely put myself on the donor register straight away. I also want to start giving blood too.

I do think that if people on the register should have priority over people not on the register when it comes to organ transplants too.

[Harry!]

I don't want any of my organs donated because if I come back to life in my coffin I want all organs to be intact. Also I wwould want all of my body with me in the after life.

...afterlife and 'coming back to life in the coffin' aren't very credible arguments

OMG thats one of my worst nightmares. Why would you even think about that?

Thats more reason to let them take parts of you out, so that you are SURE you are dead before being burried

This.

[InOne]

I got some words the wrong way round there. But still have not quite sobered up. People probably would'nt want my insides

[Grimnir]

i wanna be cryogenically frozen so no one gettin any of my organs

[Tom]

I'm often the giver, I don't take that much.

Theres my sexual innuendo post for the day.

In all seriousness, I don't care what happens to me when I die. I don't need my body anymore, I think I accidentally ticked the organ donation box anyway when I signed up for my provisional. That plus my friends brother died waiting for a kidney, v sad when you see it first hand.

Saw an advert which triggered my post

I'm on the donar list so hopefully if I die I can help others.

[Zippy]

they can have what they like of mine when I die. Ill be cremated anyways so they better get what they want before I burn baby burn.

[MeMyselfAndI]
