those are extreme cases. most organ donors are sudden deaths, not people on respirators and shit like that. keeping a brain dead body alive for even an hour allows time to take out organs and use them, as many of them are only good for a few dozen minutes once removed from the body

why do people freak about their body being "mutilated" by skilled surgeons to aid other humans but do not give a flying fuck that their body will be mutilated by rot, fungus, worms, bugs, etc, in a much much more heinious manner than any doctor (except the ones in bangladesh that harvest from unconscious subjects)? you know when you die, your body gets MUTILATED by the coroner if they do an autopsy, and definitely MUTILATED by a mortician when they remove your internal organs, THROW THEM AWAY, and process you embalmed for your funeral, right? does people's completely illogical aversion to organ donation not seem FUCKING STUPID AND JUVENILE???????? I mean, what is the point of that?

rob is correct.
not that any of my organs would be any good anyway. certainly no one would want my liver. or my lungs. if anyone wants it you can have my uterus right now. i'm never going to need it.

yea, shits crazy.
I heard this crazy but true story on the radio a while back and it went like this: This guy's friend(a girl) starting dating this new guy who worked at a morgue. They had sex or whatever and a couple days later there was this bump on her and when she popped it, a worm came out or something. She went to the doctor and he said the only way should could have that is if she had sex with a dead person (and/or someone who had sex with a dead person)!!!

I heard a news story on the radio related to organ donations. People would sign up for their organs to be removed and reused when they die, then they would die, and their family members wouldn't allow the removal of their organs, saying it was "disrespectful", and "not right".

exactly, one has to make a living will, or put a will into effect, and tell EVERYONE about yr decision so it does not become THEIR decision.

it's not rational, i can't help feeling this way, and as long as i choose to do the right thing & donate i don't see why my instictive aversion to thinking about my body parts being removed matters to you. and i don't like the idea of my body being cut up by a pathologist, mortician, or coroner, nor being cremated. anyway, i'm not having an open casket so as far as i know their will be no embalming. unless i choose to be mummified. |

and look what came up on the news today
N.Y. Planning Special Ambulance To Recover Organs By Rob Stein Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, May 24, 2008; A01 In the hope of saving the lives of more people waiting for transplants, New York City is working on a plan to deploy a special ambulance to collect the bodies of people who have died suddenly from heart attacks, accidents and other emergencies and try to preserve their organs. If the "rapid-organ-recovery ambulance" succeeds, officials would like to expand the unique pilot program citywide with a fleet of ambulances and eventually duplicate it in other cities. "We hope this will fulfill the wishes of more potential organ donors and their families in these tragic settings, and provide more organs to save the lives of those who are now dying on the waiting list," said James Burdick of the federal Health Resources and Services Administration, which is funding the project with a $1.5 million, three-year grant. Some doctors and ethicists, however, say the initiative raises a host of prickly issues, including whether it is ethical to perform procedures on and administer drugs to a body to preserve the organs before getting a loved one's approval, as is expected to happen often. They also worry about blurring the line between saving lives and removing organs, potentially undermining public trust in emergency medical care and the organ donor system.

threadstarter: you shouldn't be told what to do by anybody, even if it's right or wrong. end of story.
about donating organs, if someone needs them, why not give them. i find it weird that tons of people have no problem donating blood when alive but find it wrong to donate organs. |

is suchfriends back onthe weed???? he hasnt spoke of hardcore in a while... anyway, i jest my firned rasta or not, i dont care, you are still worth reading every time!!!
anyway... my point in posting organ donation is totally needed, organ donation is essential and maybe it will become compulsory in some places but IT HAS TO BE YOUR CHOICE. dont feel pressured into any decision and for god sake talk it over with your family and partner. they may not want their son/lover hacked when dead and they do have a right to know either way. my advice is to think about it and then decide for yourself. i am a heart, eye, liver donator but not lungs... i am asthmatic so they woyuldnt be worth shit! reading terminal and robs posts brought it home to me that this is a tricky question for a lot of folk, i never had any qualms about it but some folk do, you just dont think of it that way.... |

(wobbles, head spin) i have no fear of knitting needles or even acupuncture needles, its just syringes... ,make me violently ill (another head spin, fluid building in mouth)........ does that make any sense to anyone?????? i am actually now gonna hurl! |
