    R U an organ donor?

    I am one and I hope that here in Oz we are more safe that in some countries
    Grandmother comes back from the dead after 3 days in a morgue
    The consolation is that organ donors are not going to be buried alive

    I read the in USA if a organ donor is declared death in their home by the paramedics the organ recovery ambulance come to get the "spare parts" even before the body is taken to the hospital!
    No second chance in this case

    Just so nobody gets to scared in the US like here organs are removed by a recovery team in a hospital not in anybodies home Unfortunatly I would if I could but because I have I cant

    Yes I would donate but because I have had 2 transplants (kidney) the drugs I have to take means I cant donate

    That russian lady must be a deep sleeper

    Yep , sure am, and so is my wife. We have had the talk about our wishes if 1 of us meets an early fate, and my wife and daughters are under strick instructions that it the crematorium for me, sounds strange but one of my biggest fears is waking up in a wooden box buried.

    Not sure what parts of me will be any good, but hopefully something.

    Cheers Ean

    yp, Ive given strict instructions that I am to be treated like an old rover.

    no effort is to be spared to keep me alive but once it gets to the point where its obviously beyond hope then the recipients for all of my salvagable parts are to be identified and lined up then its a quick trip through the wreckers for me and you can cremate the leftovers.

    I am, I've made it very clear to my partner 'they' can take everything except my eyes (unreasonable fear of being stuck somewhere and I can't see whats attacking me lol) AND they are to dope me up real good even if I'm technically dead enough already not to know anythihng, because it'd be just my luck to be fully aware of what is going on while they're cutting out my good bits but unable to let them know I'm still 'there' and stop them

    In my case even if the parts are not good for other human they will be good for science so they can have them to see the effects of prescribed drugs, industrial pollution, having few Land Rovers, wine, etc

    Yes, none of me will be of any further use to myself when the time comes.

    Yep, as far as I'm concerned, if anything's left that is any good to someone, they are welcome to it. Am also registered in the bone marrow database at home, should I be a match for anyone. Had a sister who would have benefitted from a heart/lung transplant - unfortunately a match couldn't be found in time for her, but I've seen first hand the lease of life that it offers to others.

    All too often, even though a person has indicated they wish to be a donor, their family has stopped it.

    Make sure your family are aware of your wishes and are in agreement with it.
