Would you donate an organ?

January 11, 2007 8:48am CST
Just wondering what people's views are on this? I'd happily let anyone have my organs after I die if they can keep someone else alive, not sure about a kidney or something while I'm still alive, guess it'd depend on who it was for, what are your views?

I have left word for my organs to be donated, I think it is a good thing to do. I have often thought about a living donation....

I am actually planning to sign a waiver stating that when I die, my organs will be donated to those who need them. My older sister who is a nurse has already signed a waiver like that. For me, donating your organs is a noble deed. You could help save other people's lives or make their lives better. And besides, your organs will just decompose when you die, so why not put them to good use? :)

I guess donation of eyes should be made strictly mandatory....espeially it would help those for whom watching this God's creation is really unfoirtunate..i feel that donation of eyes is something is really in ones individual capability..if not other parts...

donating an organ is a decision that changes with each individual. I would likely give my organs too if they are still usable if I die. However, have you heard of latest trends of stealing nowadays. Robbers are stealing people's organs. they take out your organs from you and sell it to the black market. I hope our mylotters citizens have not been robbed of any of these syndicates. giving organs is a noble act. however we cant enforce or force people to give their organs if they do not want too. that is nice of you to willingly give your organs.

I would not at all donate any organ of my body. God has given me complete bodily parts, and of course, because they are necessary in our body functions. I will not intervene with what God gave to me. These are my treasures.

When I die I will definitely donate my organs. I think I would donate a kidney for someone in my family. I don't think I would do this for a stranger.
