Organ Donation - Yes or No?

[Bobozia]

Yes, but I'm far too lazy to put myself on a register.

Thisis exactly why I suggested an opt out system all over the world.

I am signed up as an organ donar for all of my organs I won't need them when I'm dead so may as well get used and help someone else!

Let's say the majority of people on this forum are under 25. It is believed that in our life time Bionic technology will be so advanced that a bionic heart could be put into someone and they could live forever. So although I believe in organ Donation and I think people should should sign up, I think a time will come soon that there will not be a need for it.

Your body is the only thing that is ever truly, completely, undeniable and irrevocably yours. You're the only person that gets ownership over your body (that's why it's such a big deal when people assault your person, sexually or physically, because it's against your wish).

Your organs included. They're yours, and you don't owe them to anyone else, as Kyle pointed out above. If memory serves me right, some people refuse donation due to religious concerns, believing that they have to be 'whole' to enter into a divine afterlife or whatnot.

You don't own you body when you're dead, you don't have conscious thought, you're a shell. So if some person is dying in hospital, needed an organ, none are available for them and you've just passed and have the right match for her, you're going to deprive her of life just because?

Religion shouldn't play a factor in it either. It shouldn't be used as a playing card in any situation that involves life and death.


I'm on the register, because personally I think it's the right thing to do, if someone needs one of my organs to continue to live, I'm not going to deprive them of that.

Nope.

It's unfortunate how much impact and influence religion still has in just about everything.

Well, i have grown up in a home where both my parents are doctors, seen allot of things where stuff has gone wrong over the years. all my older sisters and my parents are organ donors, and im planning to become one when im old enough. I wont be in need of them when i'm dead. And the last thing i would in life/after life would be saving somene.

i'm an organ donor, not gonna use my body when i die really
i wouldn't argue that it's selfish to people who don't want to, it's just a personal preference
i enjoy giving blood etc the thought of helping someone makes me feel more about my horrific life so if you wanna kill yourself go give blood you will feel much better about yourself

[Aiden]

I wouldn't donate my organs. I'm not actually sure if there's a reason, it just never seemed like something I would do. I don't have anything against it for others.

[Earthquake]

considering I want to be burned to ash when I die I don't see why not? depending they know for sure i'm dead.
