Hmm... I don't see why I wouldn't or shouldn't donate my organs. If I could help even one person live by donating my organs after I die, I'd feel that my death was not in vain. Don't you agree with me?

I would donate my organs tom help someone else live. I am pickling them in vodka to help preserve them.

I would donate, after all i don`t need them anymore and if it helps someone else cant be bad

Unless you have very strong religious beliefs which prohibit organ donation then yes, you should be on the donor register. It'd be pointless and selfish not to be.
Personally I'm in favour of making organ donation an opt-out practice rather than an opt-in one, i.e. the opposite of how it is now

If it helped to further research into science then I wouldnt mind.

I guess if you were to say "No" you'll find they'll use your
Organs no matter what anyway!
btw if I were to help someone who was actually a Genuine person that needed anything yes, however someone who is a alcoholic and is obese no!
cos I think they have no hope!
and they will only just go about starting of again in that prospective!
I just don't know what to do I think im gunna put no down!
take all my body with me if I can to the burner

My dad donated his whole body to medical science when he died. Don't know if it was ever any use but thats what he did.
I'd carry a donar card but it seems like such an omen dosn't it?

Doesn't mean that they don't deserve that chance to change though, does it?
And besides, if you're dead you're not really going to care who gets what, are you? Unless you have certain religious beliefs, as I mentioned earlier

If I've got no use for my organs... which I won't if I'm dead, someone who needs my kidneys, heart, liver, lungs etc. (or whatever they can actually take) are more than welcome to having them.

i'd donate everything and what's left i'd like incinerated and sprinkled over the veg gardens at Wisley... i'm useful in life and i'd like to be useful in death too.

I have never really thought about it but yes i would. What good is my body lying in the ground useless when my organs could be saving someone. What i hate seeing is some children suffering or really ill that makes me want to do something like that. Will it secure my place in heaven eh lol. I am catholic though i would still do it. Im sure the way some people live today their organs wont be healthy lol

have whatever you want of me...
although I'd advise against my liver... got to be a little shriveled by now...

^ paté perhaps...?

Yes without a doubt i think everybody should you won't need them will you so why not let them benefit someone else and give them a better quality of life, nothing better than that really. Although i do have a slight thing about my corneas for some reason, someone having my eyes freaks me out but take all the rest, proud to have a donor card, just hope it doesn't get used anywhere in the near future!

Do try to donate eyes,
the sheer number of people waiting just to see the world is in their tens of thousands because of lack of eye donors.
Every time a new eye operation camp is done here for the poor, thousands of sight impaired people turn up, hoping their number has come.
each of them gets just one eye so 2 people can benefit from an eye each.
its nice to know your eyes will continue to live and see thru someone else long after youve gone.
After death, the persons eyes are removed from under closed eye lids so no one can tell the difference.
Ive signed up myself, family n friends and even random people in parties, discs and on the street
Go do it Miss UK, someone somewhere will be very happy long after uve gone

Mmm the eye donation is just freeky, even after working with eyes for so long I just dont think I could. Personally I would prefer to go whole, go as we came. Who knows what awaits us at the other end, I hardly want to be a blind man in heaven
Posted by sigea
Ah no,its ok to donate as if we make it to heaven we get a whole new body, and SE phones with enhanced features like 180Gb inbuilt memory, P1i's with 7 megapixel image stabilization and optical zooms, and a god who uses a PIM to keep in touch with all of us
seriously, we arent taking anything with us from here

I would be afraid of seeing thorugh my eyes still, boy would that be scary :-/
Posted by Cycovision
But your body either rots away to nothing or gets burned to dust after you've kicked the bucket so how does it make sense that you're still going to need it?
You can't have flipping corpses lying around stinking and making the place look untidy just because somebody used a bit of artistic license when they wrote the Easter story, can you?

Ok after some more thinking ive decided to have a heart and give that up when im gone... afterall as celine dion said...
