Donating your organs

[Guest fyre_fly]

I was considering becoming an organ donor . When I told a few people of my decision , thay said it was a bad idea because the ones who really need them , don't get them , that they go to the ones that can afford them . Is this true ? Thanks a lot for any input .

Is this what this world come to? ugh, it saddens me to see people dying only because they'er not rich. The people who really need it or they'll die don't get it, But the people who can wait for awhile get it right away because they are rich.

I don't believe that it has anything to do with how much money a person has. Every case is different, and there are different circumstances involved. It could be that the little girl would not have survived if she hadn't gotten the liver first. Emergency rooms take patients on a triage basis. I can't see any reason that an organ donor list would be any different.

I am not an organ donor.

I am an organ donor on my drivers license and feel good about that decision. If I can help someone live, by donating an organ, why not !! Jesus proved that even in death, good results happen, not the same but I think you get my point.

I am an organ donor. The way I see it is that everything happens for a reason. I know that I will be helping someone by donating organs. Its up to God where they go.

I am listed as an organ donor it the States. I would love to know that somebody, anybody, was able to live longer and perhaps have a second chance to come to know the Lord through my donation.

My friend, a pastor's wife, was able to live 10 years and raise her family, with transplanted lungs. What a blessing it would be to give that oportunity to another young mother or father!

Me too and my thoughts exactly! We will be dead...what's the sense in letting the organs rot in our body. Let's give someone else a chance for life! And don't the rich need the organ just as much as the poor? If they didn't, they wouldn't be on the list.
