Ryan Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Are you going to be an organ donor? I am. I have been studying it all year at my gifted and talented class. I am only 12. I will donate everything cause when I am dead they will be of no use to me. WHy not let another live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon v2 Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Are ya sure you wanna go through this?? Cuz if you are, then it takes guts to do this. But when you're 12, I highly suggest you should think it over. You have other things in the world that's waiting for you. But it's ur call. Just don't back out on the last minute, cuz that's where courage is replaced by cowardice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only about 4,000 americans are organ donors. When I am dead what am I going to need them for? Why not give the gift of life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui Generis Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Yeah I agree with Ryan...I plan to be an Organ donor...I think its the best way of saying good bye...giving the gift of life to 1 or more people...:D Just my thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 well, if i was an organ donor, when i died i would have every man on earth fighting for my giant organ. ;) but seriously, i think it's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it weren't for the guilt factor, most people wouldn't do anything nice at all. We are all a bunch of greedy, rude and self-centered jerks so sometimes we need a little push in the right direction. (Or maybe that is just me, oops.) I plan on becoming an organ donor, why wouldn't I be?

Guest Matt Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 so, when you die, instead of being burried, u get to have some old guy cut u up into pieces and give your body parts to other people. hmmm....we wouldn't need to do this if we could do more stem cell research.....

k9* Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 i'm definitely going to b an organ donor, heh why not, i've already donated blood :p why not help other families keep those that they love? besides my mom has been a RN (registered nurse) for many years - she has made her own wishes about donating her organs known, she even has a living will detailing her wishes about hospitalizations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delian Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Who the hell would want my organs???:rolleyes: I was told I couldn't give blood because I was aenemic..but that was a while ago... so I'd better get checked up again...And although I think that organ donation is a great thing, it's not a decision to be made lightly. I, for personal reasons would not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 ......I'm against organ donating......I don't like what happens when a person rejects the organ.... Like my Mom's Uncle.....

Fall Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Mehe, I'm not sure if it's an organ or anything, but it's donated by someone else, bacause my original one was pearced by a bullet.....

Cibo Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 I'm an organ donar. Signed the back of my liecence and already let my family know in case I die. When I'm dead, they won't do much good to me and if it can save someone else's life, why defy them of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any idea the amount of stuff you learn in high school that -if you take the same subject- you relearn, and realise that the stuff you know isn't just 'incomplete', but completely WRONG!?! 'Tis rediculous, I hereby state :p (I just felt like sayin' that, don't expect to hear those words from me ever again). As for organ donation, [i]I Don't plan on dying[/i]... lol. Nah. Anything that allows me to help someone live even [i]after[/i] I'm dead is worth doing. I give it a big thumbs up ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because I am younger then most people here doesn't mean I am stupid... But right now I know I want to be one but yet I am not old enough but when I get my license I will have it on there aswell. My whole family are organ donors aswell. They know that I want to be an organ donor.

The surgeons do not cut you into little pieces. They cut you open like if you were having surgery and then take the organs that I wished to donate. THey sew you back up like surgery and the body isn't deformed in this process. You are still able to be buried also. It is just most of the time you can't have an open-casket funeral.

Lady Macaiodh Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 i've been an organ donor for about 3 years now. so if i die, i will help save a life. but i've heard that if your really banged up & dying in the hospital, doctors won't try as hard to save you if you're a donor. i don't know if it's true, but i heard that.
