I was born with my body, I will die with my body. I know it sounds brutal but it's about me, my integrity. I cannot do this. I've done a lot of things in my life, some crazy stuff, but the idea of giving away a part of my body is too much for me. Mentally, I wouldn't be able to take it. I do consider that, if I had to die, it's destiny, God wants it for me, my time is up.

What about blood, and blood products, plasma etc, are you against the giving and receiving of them too?

I do give my blood tho because it does immediately regenerate. I know I wouldn't need my organs once I'm dead but still, I lived with my body all life long, I want to end with that body. I know it sounds cruel or selfish but I'm really stubborn on this one.

Thanks for answering. It's different to how I think.

That is so easy to say whilst you and your family are in good health! If and when put to the test - and either your life or the life of a loved one depends on it - you may well see it differently! And until that point comes - you can't know how you will feel then!

Too bad my uncle needed a kidney and the only person left who had to give it to him was my dad and another brother. My uncles and my dad refused on a common agreement. They found another donor.
I know what I'm talking about WOMBAI, don't worry. I'm far from being thick.

I am not suggesting you are thick - but emotions can cloud our judgements. What if everyone felt like that - there wouldn't have been another donor for your uncle - and he may have died!

I know but then I don't ask myself the question because it never happened. I honestly don't expect people to understand me, I'm usually a logical person, I like to give reasons and think logically about everything I do but on this one, there may be not logical reason on the paper but that's how I see it.
This also applies to charity. There are people who do that because it's needed and we need people like them. It's just not for me.
