I'm on the National Organ Donor's list and also carry a donor's card

So yes

I'll also be giving blood in 8 months time, and will be putting myself on the bone marrow donor's list (I have to wait till Sammie's 9 months old).

Kyle Reese · **Tue Feb 03, 2004 9:27 pm**

Sure! I gave away my heart, my brain, my liver, my stomach, my intestines, and both my kidneys the same day. Came out feeling much lighter!

Jadzia Lenara Dax · **Wed Feb 04, 2004 6:39 am**

Well, my brain already went to someone in the south of France, so I figure I'm good

Thomas · **Wed Feb 04, 2004 11:17 am**

I know I used to have a Donor Card, but I think I lost it,

I guess I'm still listed though.

Leiutenant-Sones · **Wed Feb 04, 2004 12:14 pm**

I've got a organ donor card................somewhere ive had it since i was like 5 and as soon as i am old enough im gonna give blood

Jeff Miller · **Wed Feb 04, 2004 1:07 pm**

I would if I had one but they are big and I only see them in churches. *crickets cherp* no really I am on the donner list though

Josi Rockholt · **Wed Feb 04, 2004 7:20 pm**

I'm not. In fact,my whole family isn't. It's notthat we don't want to,it's that we can't be.

GhostOfAMemory · **Thu Feb 05, 2004 9:00 pm**

I'm not. I dunno... partially, I don't want to loose my organs. But hey, they're just gunna decay anyways, right? So what's the difference? but I've heard stories where if someone is a donor and they're injured, the doctors might not try as hard to save their life so they can get the organs

I mean, that probably doesn't happen, but I would want everything done to save me, yano? I mean, if I'm on life support for 3 years or whatever, sure, take me off. But if it's only been a short time and they want to take me off to harvest my organs? Erm, NO! So yeah, I may become one someday, but as of now, I'm not.

The Delta Flyer · **Fri Feb 06, 2004 12:06 pm**

I can't see that as being true but then again who knows.

When I filled in my Driving License, I ticked that I wanted rid of my organs. If I snuff it that is. Well I'm not gonna be needing them then am I???!

Mark Mag Gloade · **Fri Feb 06, 2004 2:28 pm**

In too young to donate blood or organs or bone marrow but when I am old enough I wish to

janeway9 · **Fri Feb 06, 2004 5:56 pm**

Yes I am all. I donated Blood in like the 11th grade...I'm Type A+ so if yall need that then I"M FREE!!! Lol

The Delta Flyer · **Fri Feb 06, 2004 6:53 pm**

I couldn't give blood - the thought of it makes me go all tingly. I respect you lot loads for doing it though!

sabertooth1217 · **Fri Feb 06, 2004 7:33 pm**

No, nor am i ever going to. I wont cut open my body after im dead to give parts to someone else, even if it may give that person a extra long life. No one in my familiy is, and wont be.

GhostOfAMemory · **Fri Feb 06, 2004 8:08 pm**

How do you find out what blood type you are??

IntrepidIsMe · **Fri Feb 06, 2004 8:09 pm**

Theresa · **Fri Feb 06, 2004 11:03 pm**

^Exactly. And C99, if your heart starts to fail, make sure you don't let your family put you on the donor recipient list. I'd hate to have selfishness benefit from selflessness.

Jadzia Lenara Dax · **Sat Feb 07, 2004 12:22 am**

Precisely, as T said. What exactly are your organs going to do for you when you're dead? Face it, we all die, we all make our maker, etc. And it's not like your body would retain perfect shape if you didn't donate an organ. They're just going to be eaten out by slugs then. Might as well give to someone who can actually benefit from their use, instead of providing food to fat bugs. >.<

ussshorty · **Sat Feb 07, 2004 6:28 am**

I havent given any organs yet but i have got a donor card and i also give blood.My friend matt gives plasma.

Seven of Nine · **Sat Feb 07, 2004 6:47 pm**

My blood type is also A+

You can find out by needing a blood transfusion, giving blood, or becoming pregnant

Mulder · **Sun Feb 08, 2004 7:48 am**

I think it's a scary thought that your organs are cut out after you die

I wouldn't mind giving blood though.

DemonClassY · **Sun Feb 08, 2004 12:05 pm**

I will definatly be an organ donor when I get my liceans. What the hell am I gonna nead them for when I die?

If someone really needed them now I would give all of my spare parts, even if I didn't know them.

It really makes me feel good when I know that I am halping people and making a difference in someones life.

janeway9 · **Sun Feb 08, 2004 1:15 pm**

Okay here is a way to look at it. Lets say your laying brain dead in a hospital. You are not an organ doner or you have not said you were or not. A little girl/boy comes in with the same blood type as you (say she/he is between 10 or 15) she/he is dieing and will soon pass unless she/he gets that organ. Your the only person in the hospital who can give them b/c your pretty much dead anyways...with out it she/he dies and your dieing either way b/c you as said Brain Dead.

Would you want to keep your organs which you don't need anyways and let that child who has barely begun to live life DIE!? Or would you want your organ that that child needs given to him/her?

I would most defently GIVE my organs for that child no questions asked.
