There's a lot of controversy towards this topic because it implies that someone dies unfortunately. But it's after that moment when we must decide if that death will be the only one or if the organs of that person will help to save other people's lives. I personally see no problem in donating my organs once i don't need them anymore, and i think i should get one of those donating cards. I like the idea that my kidneys or my heart saved 3 or four other people.
What do you think about that my friends? would you donate your organs? Are you against it?

No, I am not aginst the idea of donating organs.. Infact, its such a noble idea to donate organs which can help save somebody's life.. I will soon acquire the donating card, since I am too busy with my work at present.. And this proceduere also takes a lot of time, since there are a lot of formalities to be done which I have heard from my friends.. So, I will do it when I have ample time to complete all those formalities...

I would do love to donate all my organs that is working. If it would save another life or extend another person's life, then why not? Instead to have it rot and eaten my worms I would rather have it be more useful for awhile, anyways, it would still end up the same someday.

I would deffinatly donate my organs. Make sure that your family knows what your decision is because the hospitals have to have your family make the decision about it. Even if you want to have it done if your family doesn't know then they may say no even if you have a card or it is on your liscense. The hospital has to go with what the family says so always make sure that your family members know what you want done.

Yes, I surely would do that to help and save the lives of many who needs them. Once I die I no longer need what I do have in my body because it's my Spirit and Soul that I could only take with me when i'm going to heaven, and it is my happiness to share something that I have to others specially to my loved ones to give them a hope that they need more in life and giving or donating my organs would be truly a great help to them in some cases.

I do have a donor card. Of course I have no problem donating my organs once I don't need them anymore. IF it can help someone else, then it's great right?
My friend's brother was on a list for a kidney ever since I can remember, he got it 3 years ago and it's still very complicated and he has to take lots of medication, but he is finally able to do things the he wasn't able to do before - and doesn't have to be dependent on that awful dialysis machine.

I think it has long impact. Do you sure you are the ownwe of your body & you may allow a parts/organ of your body to let it donate..
I think I have no right to donate any organe of mine to others. Since they were alloted for me & I can not make transfer of them because I am really not the owner of that.
Le us look for the ownership.. property, money and so on this is transfarable because all these are transfarable & these may gain by persivarence. But if you make a lot of persivarence then you will not be able to gain a organ like eye,kidneys, etc.
I think it is better for every one to think it deeply befor makingf a decission because of course we will be asked for this activities at our creator. Everybody we should try to keep a nice answer to submit at our creator.

I believe in being an organ donor. I don't see a good reason for me not to allow someone else to use my organs if my organs aren't doing a bit of good for me. If I can't live a meaningful life then I think that my organs should be harvested to allow others to keep their gift of life. I have signed up to be an organ donor. I have alerted all my loved ones as to what my wishes are. I have everything in writing just in case someone argues about it.

It's good to alert your loved ones because sometimes even though there's a donor card the family pushes against it and it leads to trouble. thanks for replying.

i will surely donate my organs, because it has no other point here in this world, instead of being rotten or burned it will help other people to survive his/her life from my organs..or i will make my organs in bank to help my family if they will need it in the future, donating your own organs is not bad thought...it's like donating ones blood or giving alms or giving gifts in Christmas day, even you don't feel yet the happiness of giving the organs but your soul will be more peaceful because of the prayers those "people you have helped"...thanks

i don't have any organs, but i do have an old trumpet, and maybe some of those flute-a-fones from the kids' school years. lol
seriously, i am an organ donor. or at least it says so on my donor card. thanks to phil lesh's schmeel at the end of each of his concerts. he convinced me that it was the right thing to do.
