I know that there are a lot of people donating their organs after they died to help other people who needs organs. For me, I think I do not have the courage to do so and my family would surely not allow me to do it. Would you do it? Would you donate your organ after you died?

No, It is my belief that your body stores information you have accessed in your life. The only way for your soul to retain that information is, in my opinion to be cremated. There are some beliefs that clearly state other ways. I do not dspute any of them, this is purely my own information on the subject. I just want to make it clear that I would never disagree with the beliefs of anyone.

I think that it is quite hard for me to donate organs because my family might not allowed it. Some of the Chinese belief and taboos also do not allow donating organs and I am a Chinese. So, it is hard.

It is a hard decision but honestly I think your customs and traditions are more important. There are enough people who do donate.

I would donate my organs after I die. Actually, I have donated blood and thereĀ“s a waiver, too, that gives me the liberty to donate my organs if I want to. I know some people are still very conscious and conservative about these things. I just find it selfish of myself to keep the organs that I could never use after I die.

I am an organ donor. On my license it is marked so that if something terrible happens to me they can "harvest" my organs right away. What many people do not understand though, is that your family can still over-ride that and say no. They actually have to sign a consent form even if you've tagged yourself as a donor. So, if you do want to donate your organs, PLEASE make sure your family knows this ahead of time so it's not a problem.

Yeah, you are right. We need to let our family know first before deciding to be a donor.

Why not.... If my body parts could be useful for others that might be needing it why not. Well why would I keep it if it will just rot since I would not be of use to that body part anyway.

Yes I want to donate my organs but somehow it depends on your home members to inform the required hospital but genrally family members are not able to gather courage to donate organs of their near and dear one who has expired. So it is difficult.

Yes my not is if one gets benefit from me then I will surely help. But i shall also make sure that it is done in right place and my organs are not a part of some dingy black market organ sales. it should be given to those in need and free of any costs. I have thought I shall give my eyes as i have perfect 6/6 vision on both of my eyes. I think every one should donate a part of their body at least, what do my fellows think??
