I'm donating my body to science.. |

I would probably |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i would. dunno how you sign up / whatever though. |

In australia, you just tick a box when applying for a drivers license. |

|
|
i'm not sure. i think so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are some reasons that you wouldn't? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I'm currently down as, but if the government change the system to "opt out" as they were proposing, I'll stop on principle. I don't like the idea of the state owning your body by default... |
||||||||
|

|
|
Yes I am, anything but my cornea and skin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats an intresting point.. i hate the government, i'd hate for them to own my body, i guess i'd always seperated medical research and the state. |
||||||||

I'm not, but i should be. The thing that stopped me from doing it is the principal that EVERYONE involved in an organ donation, excluding the one who gets the organ, and the one who gives away his organ makes money out of it. Its currency, so it would be fair to get a fee for the people you leave behind, since everyone else makes money out of it. Anyway, one of my good friends wouldnt be alive today if it wasnt for organ donation. He had his heart replaced (and his name is Nielhert... the irony) This made me think i should be an organ donor. |

another intresting point *about teh wheelings and dealings.. it's not as simple as i first thought. |
||||||||

Why, what would you want to do with your body when you'll be dead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not signed up, but i will later. assuming they'll manage to use some of my parts. it's a must, really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what? doctors and nurses make a salery, so? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i already donated my body to science.. when im dead ofcourse. |
||||||||
|
|

Youre from Holland, and its probably the same as here in Denmark, where you dont pay for your medical bills. But in most parts of the world you pay for the medical bill. |

jah, but also what im thinking is you won't help the people in need by fighting the organ trade system by not donating in our countries things are fair, thankgod but i agree with you that in many countries it's really crap where you can get a transplant sooner when you have money, that's why we need to fight this system by donating even more organs :) |

As I said, I've currently chosen to be an organ donor. That's fine. I'd like to help someone live after I die. What I don't want, is the system our government was proposing a couple of years back, whereby by default, when you are born, you are put on the organ donating list. You would then have to "opt out" (doubtlessly involving shedloads of beauracracy in the process: numerous forms to fill in, phone calls to check they've actually done it, etc.) if that were the case, I would opt out on principle. I think it's a slightly creepy state of affairs whereby the state own your body automatically and you have to jump through hoops to get it back. To me, it smacks of the situation in China where executed prisoners' bodies are owned by the state (not their families) and the government sell their organs for financial gain. Would you want a system where you had to fill in a load of paperwork and co-operate with beauracratic government agencies to get out of donating blood ever 6 months? Donating blood or organs is an act of charity. If you make it mandatory, the "charity" of the act is lost. The whole point of charity is that you choose to do something selfless to help others. |

|

id love to recieve your organ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Id give my organs to the first person who can post an interesting link in this so called of a life thread. And/or When im clinnical dead use my organs and live a better life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no but i watched 21 grams last night fr or the second time. does that count |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes but i have never donated blood, i just don't want to faint |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm guessing the person(s) bleeding to death dont want to die. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish you could direct where you donated organs go. i wouldn't want my organs going to some asshole who botched their suicide by not taking enough pills and booze, and now they need a liver because theirs is fucked. if it were some poor sap with a bum kidney because of a farming accident, i'd be cool with that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gosh thats an awlful movie. mimi: you don't faint when you give blood, unless there is something wrong with you? i gave blood 2 days ago, it was fine, fun even. free cuppa, cheese and crackers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure... if they are even good enough to donate when i'm done with them, i dont think i've ever been all that concerned with health, i haven't been exactly righteous with my body. but yeah, take what you want... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some people just react very badly to having blood drawn. we drew blood from a subject in clinic once, only about 30ml, and he passed out. he actually stood up and walked down the hall, then he fell down. i felt kinda bad later for laughing at him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surely some lame dj shadow reference would've been made by now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you just did it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, you were right to laugh at him. That's funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why do people get so worked up about donating organs? its not as if you would need them anymore |
