Are you a registered organ donor? I am. I like to think I can maybe be of some use to someone at some time. My family are not particularly interested in this subject and I don't know if they've listened when I've told them my wishes. Imagine giving someone the gift of sight. Or a burn victim healing with the gift of someone's skin. How can anyone have a problem with this? It's the ultimate in recycling.

In Australia we have an organ doner register so if we die our organs can be harvested to help others. My hustband and I are on the register and my children have also expressed a wish to do so when they are all old enough. It is as you have said the ultimate in recycling.

Hi, your kids dont have to be a certian age. If they die when they are still minors all you have to do is sighn for them. I did that for my 7 year old

Here in the States there is a donor card that you sign up for. So the doctors and the hospital know you are a donor.But that is a main reason many people here won't sign up. they are scared that the doctors will just let you die so they can get the organs.I am not a donor.But if I were to change my mind, I would donate my hearing , lungs, and my left eye. My right isn't as good.

i have registered to be a donor, which it states on my license. i have only put down my inside like kidneys and liver etc. i think great to think when i am unable to go on anymore that someone else can have the chance to a better life with my help. my family dont agree either with being a donor.

im not a registered organ donor, but i would like to be registered, just i dont know how. i live in indonesia, and well yeah things here are not organized properly yet. I would like to donor it for free, so someday later my organs could help the others. I won't allow anyone take money advantage from my organs, i'll give it sincerely to those who needs it.
