I don't know from where and how, but recently start spinning in my brains the idea of allowing whatever of my internal organs would be suited, to be donated to who ever need it. I didn't made medical check if any of possible to be donated organs I have are good enough to be used to others, but I am stuck at this point to the question if is a good thing to do or not. I must say, I do not care nor consider things related to religion - I can't care less of what ANY religion say about donating organs to who ever would need it. I want your opinions about, if you would do it or not and why. Pro and cons. So, would you register to donate organs - kidney, liver, hearth, whatever - from your body as soon after you die?

Without hesitation i would donate any body parts of mine if it could extend the life or bring back a normal life to the needy one. I'm doing this not out of religious belief or something like that. It's what i believe human should do. Help each other out.

Hi. Yes, why not. Atleast even after you die you can give somebody an extension of his life. I think it's good to be able to help someone in need even if your already gone. It's a plus point in heaven. ;)

Exactly that's the point of all the trouble, to be useful to someone after you do not exist any longer. As about the + point in Heaven, I have some problems .. If there's a Heaven as in Christian religion, I am not sure is a plus point there while your organ(s) actually helped a fellow human to NOT die at God request ...

this is a common enough practice in the united states and you can register with your secretary of state's office and they mark on your drivers license that you are a registered donor. You can make exceptions, like you want to keep your eyes etc. i am a registered donor without any restrictions. My family all knows this and understand my wishes. I also have a living will, that if my quality of life is compromised ie I am a vegetable with no real hope of ever truly living again that they are to pull the plug.

hahaha, it is a crazy idea? Well, is not mine, despite I would wanted to claim the copyrights ... So, you want to be "complete" when you die. Sure, this is an option too. No problem, yet you can not pretend to become a mummy and be preserved ... Mummyfication process request removing of internal organs, which you do not agree
