I can see why people donate organs and whatnot. However, I don't intend to leave mine in a condition worth sharing. Selfish, perhaps, but I don't treat my body like a temple. It's probably all half knackered anyway.
As with most people here the veiw i take is that i'm done with it/them so why not. Add to this the fact that i'm unlikely to acutally contribute to the advancement of the human race in any meaningful way (past passing on my awsome genes obviously) then tbh it could be seen as socially irrisponsible not to donate my organs for transplant/medical science. I quite fancy donating my skull like that dude did to the RSC but im not sure where to, possibly just one of my friends or i could insist it sat on the mantle peice of my former home to freak folk out
For religious reasons and out of respect for my family I couldnt donate my organs...it is something I may have given serious thought to but my family need to see my body and cremate me as a whole. They would be upset and it would cause a huge uproar in my family if I did something like that..and as someone said, they will need to say their peace with me as they are the ones left suffering no doubt. Thats not going to be easy with parts of my body missing and marks all over me.
My ex GF's Dad has donated his body to Dr. Gunther von Hagens when the time comes. I am considering doing the same.
With a vrey rare genetic condition, I'm probably gonna do that myself. Having nobody even to bury me, I figure it'll be a great way to dispose of my remains.
organ donor info Interesting reading there. And over here drivers ed and the DMV ask you every step of the way if you want to be a donor. I am currently a donor, just in case of a horrible modding incident The brain, I'd never really thought about.
im not sure how to become one here in canada. i wouldnt care if they take my parts. my family would think its a good idea, i think.
I want to be cremated and have my ashes thrown in face of the people I really dont like I get up their nose in life so why not in death LOL . Failing that a vikings funeral would do. But they can have my brain first.
16th birthday about a week ago, on the organ doners list officially today. The whole lot of me is going, including my brain.
I would love to donate blood, organs, anything and everything. Unfortunately I am not allowed as being bisexual means I have AIDs and every other STI on the planet according to the Irish Transfusion Board. Statistically they're very wrong at this point.
Not soon I hope It wasn't exactly on my to do list when I turned 16. I dont know about donating my organs.. it's very strange to think about and none of us need to think about it for a long time.
I'm very sorry to hear that you have nobody to bury you. I'm assuming that you no longer have, or keep in touch with family. If so I'm really sorry to hear that. What age are you?
