Would you donate your organs when you die?

[Frodo13.]

I recently had a debate at school with my teacher about donating your organs when you are dead. According to her, I'm selfish for not wanting to donate my organs when I'm dead, and I don't because I think it's disrespectful and also unfair on families if a corpse is being diced up for organs.

I had a sister who died on the day she was born, and the first thing doctors asked my Mum after she passed away was if she wanted her organs to be donated, which I think is inconsiderate and inappropiate at such times. What is everyone's view on this.

It should be down to the deceased if they wanted their bodies diced up and whether or not the deceased had any special organs that could be useful in discovering certain things. Though the latter seems unlikely and confusing.

If someone doesn't want their organs removed, then so be it. If they've never said, they shouldn't. If they say they do, then they do get used and removed. It's not selfish at all, it's respect. Selfish is thinking your body is a temple and that having it ripped up would be horrific! If you don't like the idea, no-one is forcing you.

I cannot donate my organs anyway, they're toxic and would be rejected by another body (long story but involves an operation and drugs) :P

I think I will donate my organs. I mean, a lot of good can come from it, your healthy (hopefully) organs giving someone another 10 years of life, even though you're dead.

And they've unfortunatly got to ask that question fairly soon or, well, they lose the use of them.

HELL NO.

I don't think mine will be healthy so for that reason no. I would probably give blood though :D

[Geraint]

I want my organs to be donated when I die, yes.

[J0SH]

I'll be dead so why not

[Soy]

They would only rot/ be burned anyway

So I don't see why not?

[Catzsy]

A close relative died when he was quite young and his organs were donated. It saved 3 other peoples lives including a woman with 4 children who couldn't even walk up the stairs before because whe was so weak.
It has to be a personal decision though. I have already signed up to donate mine.

[Fifteen]

Yeah I am a registered organ donor, i'll be dead so will not need my organs so why not? I want to give people the "gift of life"

[mangle]

Yeah, i'm already signed up :)

[scott]

I signed up to it when they came into my school and gave us a big presentation thing about it, so yes I will :)!

[Technologic]

I think i will sign up, as long as they dont take my eyes

You can choose what they take for transplantation.

[flatface]

I've signed up for it, everything apart from my eyes :P

[Fifteen]

Yeah me too :)

[GrandTheftAudio]

I'd give everything.
Not like your organs would go anywhere anyway. You might as well save a life.

[clueless]

yeah im planning on signing up soon

[paul4wolves]

HELL NO.

Man speaks sence.

Having read the post again I do agree with the second paragraph - it was not the best thing to ask anyone at that time. I do not think you are selfish
as you have your beliefs. Coming to a decision one way or the other and letting others know your wishes is probably the most important thing.

Yeah, I'm signed up for everything but my eyes. I just couldn't bring myself to tick eyes, I don't know why I just think its weird :(

[Kieeran]

i smoke n drink so if u want my organs go ahead

na srsly i wont be donating mine its not natrual

[5,5]

Yes becuase if theyre were more organ donors than my cousin would still be alive.
Your dead, why do you still need them? And they dont dice up your body and take what they want and throw the rest out you *******.

[NEEVE]

I dunno if id donate mine because they might find away of bringing people who have just dies back to life. I might do if my body aint cut up in to mini pieces.

[lick]

When my mate died i was like omg why are you giving his prgans to his mam and dad but then i saw than he could save someones life and i made it much better, if i died i would want my mam and dad to do the same.


To the people who say they would not give organs, im sure you wont be looking for them either if you ever need them in the furture then will yous?

[Immenseman]

meh not really, probably will though.

[mangle]

I want someone to have my eyes, it'd be badass.

[ToxicPaddy]

I think it was wrong for your teacher to tell you that you're selfish for not wanting to donate your organs. I don't think I will donate mine, simply because I don't like the idea of myself being chopped up once I die.

[Absently]

I think it'd be pretty cool, so yeah I guess.

[Bun]

yeah man, even if it just make one persons life slightly better then it would be worth it, they're useless to me when i'm dead.

[brandon]

Yeah I have already signed up.

[Arch]

ive signed up twice

[suzie.w]

I would definatly donate my organs if I die.

Reasons being: thing if your ill yourself and you needed a transplant you would be very grateful if someone give you a vital organ to save your life.

Also the pleasure of maybe saving someones life would be a thought for the family left behind.

[Obeying]

Umm they can have all my organs i mean, im dead i wouldnt know anything about it.
And Hmm.. Suzie said she donating her tongue to the elastic factory :)
