to ask your thoughts on organ denation

[UnicornShapedCloud]

I have been thinking alot recently about organ donation after watching a programme about it.

I have really mixed feelings about it,

Whats your views on donating your own or your DC organs after death?

Would you accept an organ for you or a loved one if needed?

If you answered yes to the above you should be willing to donate your own organs!

I’m dead, have my organs so others can live. Simple as that for me.

You can have it all

Me too! Once I'm dead, I'm dead! I don't need my organs then, if anyone can make use of them, go for it!

Total no brainier. A dead person does not need organs. Said organs can save many lives. Where is the quandary?

Would donate mine and my loved ones in a heat beat if we died.
Tragic how many people die whilst waiting for a transplant when decent organs get cremated everyday because people feel ‘odd’ about it.

Imagine your child needed a transplant. Still think it’s a bad idea?

I want my organs used by anyone who needs them. I'll be dead and will have no further use for my heart/lungs/etc. I'd like to think I can help someone else enjoy life after I'm gone.

This will sound soft but I ticked every box on my online donor form apart from heart and eyes,If there is any truth in reincarnation id like to see with my original eyes and love with my original heart

What are your mixed feelings?

If you were told that your child would die without a transplant would you accept one or let your child die?
Unless you would let your child die and not have one, you should be prepared to donate both your own and your child's organs.
From a personal point of view it means there's a bit of you/your child living on and enabling another family to continue without the loss of a loved one (I quite like that idea).

I won't need my organs after I've gone. If something positive can come from something so sad I'm all for it.

Both us and the kids have donor cards. Dead people don’t need organs, living people do

I donate blood, platelets and have donated bone marrow once at a request from a family member. My very strong belief is that I won't need any part of my body once I've passed away, and the thought of helping another person potentially prolong or improve their life via my organs makes me feel quite happy.

When it comes to the DCs I've always been open and honest about donations (one of their Grandparents had a kidney transplant years ago) and I'd like to think that if the absolute worst happened, we would still stand by my belief and donate.

I would donate mine, although having lived in South America I may not be able to now.

Not sure how I would feel about my DC, but I think I would think about another person not dying and so would agree.

Queen.. really though.. they’re going to be either rotting in the earth or burnt, depending on your preference. If there’s any truth in reincarnation you’re not going to be in the same physical body.

I have been on the donor list and carried a card since I was a small child and we donated everything viable from my df. I honestly feel that anyone who wouldn’t has no right to accept a transplant.

They can have whatever is needed when i die. Not like I'll need it anymore and would be great if it meant some other people will live

Once I’m dead I would hope the first thing that happens is that I’m taken to a medical facility and they can have a rummage around inside me and take whatever is of use!
Organ donation should be opt out, not opt in

We are all donors. What are you feeling mixed about op?

My family know what i want and I carry a donor card with me

Would donate mine, my DCs and DHs.

DH hasn't actually signed up but knows that I would donate his organs. He knows this and hasn't objected.

What's mixed. We can help others live if we die. Huzzah!

If you donate your organs, a bit of you lives on after you die - how cool is that!

I think if a person has donated their organs, their family should not be able to refuse. I'm in favour of an opt out system for donation.

Once I'm dead I don't need my body anymore, so they're welcome to it. I'd even consider donating my remains to medical science. If can benefit others in any way, I'm up for it. And don't you get a free funeral?

A much loved mate of mine is living a full and healthy life with someone else’s kidney. I’d donate in a heartbeat if called to make the choice, and DH and I are both on the register.
