Organ Donation

[OhLiam]

I decided to join the register and thought I'd ask if anyone else has thought about this?

I had one thing when registering because I'd want my organs to go to people who truly deserves it rather than someone who's caused their own fate but after a long think I joined and im pleased that I did :D

Next step for me is to donate blood (:

So yeah are you on the register? ever thought about it?

Is this after youve died? or like if someone needs a kidney when your alive?

[OhLiam]

After you've died :P, I'd rather keep my kidneys incase something happens XD

[Stryderman]

Ahh, never really thought about it to be honest.

[dbgtz]

I'll join for the dead one

[clueless]

yeah im an organ donor

dont see many reasons why not to be

[LoveToStack]

It's for when you die.

[Kieran]

To be honest.... I don't see why you wouldn't want to be one.. Not like its any use to you when you're dead and you can save someone else's life :l

[kuzkasate]

I wouldnt mind but when you die your body is supposed to be at peace, resting in the grave, not getting slashed up :/

[Romanity]

I'm a member.
If i die they can take my lungs heart and liver :)

[dbgtz]

There is one for when your alive for organs like a kidney.

Everyone who dies gets slashed up. Their just taking bits which other people need to live.

Only thing I don't want them taking is my eyes.

[Tash.]

I haven't signed up but I do keep meaning to. I see no reason to be keeping my organs when I die. I like the idea that my death can at least benefit someone and maybe give them a renewed life.

[brandon]

Yeah I signed up last year.

[5,5]

I am one and imo its just selfish not be.

[MrGazet]

Ahh, never really thought about it to be honest.

Same here honestly :)

If I could save somebody's live even by donating part of an organ when I'm alive I would.

My life's not more important than someone else's, so if I can help them, why shouldn't I?

[luce]

I will join when i am old enough i think that you should have to give them unless you sign something. Not the other way around because what are you going to do with them when you're dead? They could save so many lives.

[sammy]

Me & Purplejassie were talking about this earlier - I wouldn't fancy it. The thought is just urgh...

[Stefy09]

They can take my 13 inch organ when I'm gone

[Haaaaarry1]

^v. clever

yeahh totally they can take what they want, its not as if i'll need them. id prefer to die knowing that i could be helping someone in a major way when im not even alive.. i cant see why you wouldnt want to?

[Meanies]

i signed up when i did my driving license
got to the bit askin if you wanted to be one n was just like yh why not may as well.
whats the use of them when youre dead anyway:S might aswell use them for smin useful

[dirrty]

haven't signed up yet, but will when i can be bothered.

[Callum.]

Been registered for a while. If I died and they could give my (hopefully) healthy organs to someone who needs them I'd be happy.

That's the spirit :)

[Catzsy]

I am registered as a close relative of mine's organs were gifted on death and it saved at least 3 people including one young mother of 3 who had a terminal liver problem so I would urge all to sign up. :)

in Canada when you get your drivers license you're given the appropriate forms to register for organ donation. Is it a similar setup in the UK?

Yep, thats when i signed up.

[Sammeth.]

Innit I signed up at the same time as my drivers license, they can take everything but my eyes n ting.

[Tintinnabulate]

You don't need them if you are dead and if it saves someone else, then I don't see a problem in giving it to them.

[Stefy09]

i have signed up!

I put everything except my heart though :S

[hah]

They can take my 13 inch organ when I'm gone

lmaooooo


ima join when i get to 18 but if i die before then i would want my parents to offer mine to people

[Gibs960]

I want to be but I don't like the thought of people cutting me up when I'm dead :(

[Stefy09]

Yeah I want my parents to sell mine at a car boot sale too

[jrh2002]

I would only sign up if I could stipulate who I wanted to exclude :o (No drunks, no drug addicts, no criminials, no health tourists, no politicians, no left wingers, no labour supporters, no football fans from the teams I dont like, no benefits claimers, no guardian readers, no slobs, no smokers, no people who caused an accident to need an organ) Looks like I am keeping all mine. My list is a little exagerated but you get the point lol I would hate to looking down from heaven to see Ian Huntley getting one of my organs to replace one of his that has had a knife through it.

[Stefy09]

Never thought about that

[jrh2002]

Never thought about that

Its not a nice way to think about it but I am sure if there were options on the form of who you did not want to have an organ there would be a lot more donators. Look at George Best having the new liver (I think he did pay for it) but he also killed that off and imagine if it went to somebody else who needed it and not through alchohol abuse :o they could be here now enjoying their extended life but instead it got pickled like his natural liver.
