I got a heart and lung transplant 5 years ago, and I would not be alive today without someones gracious choice to donate. Now I live a happy fulfilled life with my family. The last years have been a gift I am so very grateful for.

Hi....... Good question.
Definitively NO. I would not donate any of my organs to be used after my dead. ¿Why?. It might appear like selfishness, but when one know perfectly the Divine Plan, and have verify the reembodiment law, and study all concerned with this natural and unchangeable law; so gets to the conclussion that HUMAN BEING HAS BEEN ENDOWED WITH A PHYSIC BODY TO ACCOMPLISH ITS PROPER PLAN DURING (HIS/HER) DEMURRAGE IN THIS PLANET. AND THAT EACH ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GOOD OR BAD USE THEY GIVE TO THIS PHYSIC VEHICLE. EACH ATOM GIVEN TO A HUMAN BEING BEFORE COMING TO THE PLANET, MUST BE RETURNED AT THE END OF ITS LIFETIME. THE NEXT PHYSIC BODY WILL BE BUILTED WITH THE SAME ELECTRONS. ¿WHY?, BECAUSE " ENERGY IS NOT BUILTED NEITHER DESTROYED, BUT SIMPLY TRANSFORMED". SO, WHAT CAN THE "ELEMENTAL" OF MY PHYSIC VEHICLE DO IF I RETURN WITHOUT ANY OF MY ORGANS?........WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD TO BUILD SOMETHING WITH AN INCOMPLETE MATTER?....... YOU WILL DO AS FAR AS YOU COULD. THE SAME APLIES FOR THIS CASE.......
8 YEARS AFTER DEAD, YOU WILL BE HERE AGAIN, WITH A NEW BODY, NEW PARENTS, NEW COUNTRY, NEW LIFE.......NEW CHANCE TO REPAIR THE BAD AND TO ADVANCE IN THE EVOLUTION WAY.
BUT.......DO NOT BELIEVE ME. YOU HAVE NOT TO DO IT
SEARCH ABOUT THIS, AND VERIFY IT......
BLESSINGS FOR YOU.

I'd donate all my organs to save who needed them more. would be much down my body being eating by land. In japan the authorities not permit children under 15 age receive organs donating. It's terrible, they need come together as one to change it.

Yes, I would donate my organs to those who really need them. It is an act of human nature that people can support and help each other in the times of suffrering. Positive vibes attract other possitive vibes makes the world better place. Let me tell you a positive news in Japan.
Recently,the Japanes government revised the law on organ transplantation to allow donations of organs from a brain-dead person,if family members agree,even if the will of the donor is not confirmed. It paves the way for organ transplants from brain-dead children. The previous law in Japan banned organ donations from brain-dead under fifteen years old.Those who really needed organs were forced to go to overseas for the transplantation.They usually ended up paying millions of dollars to get the operations. This law changes a lot for them. I do not doubt that it will promote more public awarness about the organ donate issues.

Definitely I will donate my organs should it strenghten and prolong other people's lives.

i think organ donation is a great thing. If a small part of me can be used by someone else after I am decesed, I would consider that an honor. I like the idea of a part of my body continuing to live on after I do, especially if it's for a younger person who has a long life to live.

Having read the comment fo Ole Moller – Nilsson, I am more convinced and I would donate my organs. To be able to make a positive difference in someone else's life is important.

A donor card holder with SORT in India and SCOT here in Saudi Arabia,
I am against the concept of offering any organs against monetary benefit .No one can belittle a great segment of humanitarian ethics for a few coins. If the donor is dead and his or her family is under poverty line, the government or the concerned authority has to take a firm step to rehab them as a good gesture. That is different and welcome. If money is in the focus, trading in organs may be flourishing. On the other hand, to donate an organ to his/her own family members or intimate friend always depends upon the situation and attachment to the needy. There is no exploitation is involved here. Proper enlightenment is necessary to aware more people to donate spontaneously.

The donors must have the bounden duty to convince their family members to fulfill their wishes promptly and immediately. Recently a sixteen year old Indian boy, Stanly, died after fighting a prolonged disease. His wish was to donate his all organs to the needy. While he was alive, he used to convince his parents his last wish. And his beloved parents immediately made arrangements for that. Not one, five patients could benefit from his different organs. That boy’s determination was commendable. Such determination is inevitable from every donor. The donors must always keep their cards attached with their very important documents while travelling so that the authorities can realize, in case of an accident, the bearer is an organ donor and take necessary and immediate action for donation. Otherwise time frame for preserving organs intact will lapse.
There are also some blind beliefs about donating organs. That should be eradicated by counseling and seminars. This is one of the great human virtues.

Yes, I would donate my organs upon my demise, and I am a card carrying donor to allow that to happen. Would I donate while I am still living? I am inclined to say yes also. It is a God given opportunity to help others, but I admit that I am queasy about it. Tough one.

I will donate an organ to someone that reqiures it as long as it would save the life of the individual. Besides wot do u get to keep it yours and have others perish for something that you could have helped with?

Yes. Giving is one thing that we must always do. I will give an organ to save a human being from death; For the individual who has been saved from death might be the leader of tomorrow.

Of course i would gladly donate an organ if i am in the correct health condition which will enable me to do that without putting my own life at risk knowing very well that it would save the life of another. You can imagine what joy it would bring when you see someone living a normal life thanks to some thing that came voluntarily from you and i strongly believe any case when i may also be in need of an organ, i will also be able to get someone who shares my views to help prolong my longevity.

I am a bit confused the question you asked was "Would you donate your organs to someone who needed them more?" from which i assume that you mean if you are alive and you would be willing to donate a kidney (or other organs that can be donated) while a person is alive
But while reading other peoples comments they have talked about donating their organs after dying.

I will comment on both these issues.

Who do us humans value more than our ownselves?the answer is no one. I think its really easy to say that yes i would donate my organs to someone who needs them more but i think the reality is different. Humans are basically selfish. For myself I would for my parents, siblings ,my spouse and my children.I dont know if i would be strong enough to do it for someone else.

To donate my organs after dying the answer is yes i would without a question . My soul will be gone and what will remain is only the empty vessel that carried it . If that vessel can put life into another human being than why not??

Firstly, I would like to tell you a short story...

I lost a member of my family 8 yrs ago, a very close person to me, well this special person died of a rare desease, no postmorton was required.

This special person was living in England, we have the donors card and of course my self and my special person signed the card.

When my special person died, I was one of his next of kins, the donor organisers came to the hospital. My self and the other kin had to sign and decide the organs.

Three organs were donated, vital organs and now 3 people live due to signing that form.

Please sign or create a document, to give to your family so you can donate when you die, remember of those individuals who need your organs to carry on lifes journey.

I would like to donate every organ i can donate, to jews who are in need, only jews,and i am willing to commit euthnasai to do so..It has to be in israel..and iit can be done anytime..but i will only donate to jews living in Israel..i will not ask for anything in return for this.

Im a muslim, and i've been told by some that the jews have it in their torah to kill all muslims. im saddened by it..i would like to give all the organs to jews in israel.

you can contact me at +92-302-2404224

i would like to see Israel living in peace with all the other muslim nations of the world.

No. I am not joking. Suicide is haram in our religion, so it has to be euthanasia.

I would gladly donate all my organs once I've passed on, but one thing has kept me from putting my name on the donor list and carring a card to identify myself, specially while travelling.

People, specially in developing countries, have exploited this very same concept. in some places, organ donors have become a target. Your life may potentially be in danger, simply because you carry that card that says you're an organ donnor!!
Im not sure that this is a good enough reason not to put my name on the list, which i plan to do in the near future, but for now, i have Informed my parents and close friends to fulfil my wishes of donating my organs, and drafting a will for this purpose is not a bad idea i supose.

Of course. I have pledged mine 10 years ago.

until i fell ill on cancer in 1990 at age of 31 i had a donor pass and got it again after 5 years.

rules for organ donation in germany are strict and managed by eurotransplant with any monetary interests at all.

we definitely need more organ donors to fulfill the needs of patients who may have a future with a donated organ.

i respect religious concerns about organ donation, but i can´t accept this.

reembodiment and telltales, religious dogmatics like this, should better be placed in dark ages, than in our modern world.
the same place is the origin of creationism.

misbelieves and the weapon of religious fear are a political instrument used to get a easy-to-handle and "well behaviour" mass of people in every country; – untill today. every open minded member of mankind will face the normative power of these facts.

organ donation is only a temporary way to rescue lifes, so far as we can asses the future today. it may be a way for another 2 or 3 decades. then we are able to "build" individual organ tissue and the option of organ donation will be abandoned.

but, – maybe we should do this, .... perhaps this organ will be reembodied too and starts it´s separate afterlife ..... )

Honestly, there's a lot of trouble in this world and we get to think so many things are absurd till we get to see the other side of the coin. i personally think, for now it may be wicked of me for now to die and be buried with my body organs intact when i know someone who cant afford a transplant is dying and needs it. i know it may cause a lot of problems and killings that's why i still think by now its still a very personal decision and till we can get to accept IT.

Yes, I would consider donating after death. or life.... if my closest family needed a kidney i don't think I would hesitate to assist.

And I can understand why some people would say no. At one point I would have agreed that everyone has their time and when their time has come you have to learn to let go of your loved ones BUT I also know that today for tomorrow if one of MY loved ones needed an organ donation, I would want someone to help.

Three points -
First, I would guess that I am in the human majority that I would donate a viable organ like a kidney while alive and healthy to a significant other, my wife, my children, basically a loved one.
Second, sure I would have no problem of donations in case of death – to anyone.
Last, I think that a practice of donations from impoverished people seems deplorable but understandable, I don't think it is acceptable.
Anybody cares to disagree?

Definitely donated organs have helped many people around the world to continue living, but there's an ethic issue involved here, hospitals, organ/tissues banks and physicians in general shouldn't accept organs, tissues, that come from doubtful sources, that are the product of organ's theft, organ's traffick, it's against human life and dignity and promotes terrible situations/choices like the one we can read that happens in Pakistan, and all over the world, stop the organ trafficking! child trafficking! let's fight poverty!

I totally agree with Peter. It is understandable but not acceptable.

I would donate my organ while alive if I had a spare and certified healthy to live on one, at the time of my death, I would donate anything that can be used to save another life. I clearly would have no need for it.
I am Christian and hence do not belief in reincarnation. But I am of the opinion that for those who belief in reincarnation, donating an organ should not in any way hinder ones soul from reincarnating.

A simple choice – sell the child for definite. You can't make another Kidney; creating a new child is free.

Poverty is very severe in some parts of the world including in a segment of population in Pakistan, and people at times face tough choices in coping with life which is sad. However reporting an organ sale or donation debate with a dramatic heading " kidney or child" as main CNN news is spoiling the image of the country. In my opinion media should now focus on many positive aspects of Pakistan and Pakistan Society, which are overshadowed by the images of war, extremism and poverty post 9/11.

2 such positive aspects of Pakistan are institutes like SIUT http://www.SIUT.org and Kidney Center where any one can receive free kidney treatment including a transplant and it is funded by donations.

I am wary of donating organs in case I am in hospital in a critical condition. I want to take every single last chance I have to survive, even if my odds are low, and don't want the fact that someone else with a much better chance to survive than me waiting on an organ to influence my care. Even if keeping me alive longer means that organ will not be suitable for a transplant.

I don't know how to ensure that this is the case, and as such I've taken the safe path of keeping my organs to myself. Otherwise, i have no problem with donating organs.

This is a socio-economic problem because of poor governance. Any other poor country in S.A or Africa don't have this kind of problem. And the situation is agravated by years of misbelieve that pseudo democracy and heavy religionism will work to bring the betterment of their comrade. What is needed is for Pakistan to purge rampant corruption and give up Kashmir meddling. Next, they need to focus on building international linkage via flight and sea route. They also need to setup special economic zone, further to south (away from al osama) with Indian and Sri Lanka – something like strategic economic triangle development. Increase funding on sustainable agricultural and fishery. Public media must be encourage with lesser stress on Islamic conservatism but more on western journalism. China and Vietnam has done this (although they are not religious country – more of ideologist country) with great success. Only then, government and their people will be more civic and resource-rich enough to deal with local problem like these. This people are poor. Poor means they don't own anything other than their body and children. So, if any rational civilized westerner in severe debt, they will sell their surrounding belongings, I don't see the irrationality of poor people selling their body or children. We're human. And survival takes the highest priority – second to none. The only question left for this poor is this, which they prefer survival, their own or children. In the above example, the father prefer children survival, and that's why he gave up his kidney. Sad, but very common facts of life when you're poor and your government is too poor to give unemployment check.

I would definitely donate all my organs that can be used to save others when I died. But while I am still alive I may donate to someone I really care.

For myself , the last thing I can do good things to the world is donating my organs to those who need it. But It should not be for someone to make money. Giving is the best way to make oneself happy.

If one could physically afford to donate them, then i guess it makes a lot of sense to. No point loving your next person more than yourself.

Million of people die every single day! Very soon everyone in the western world and perhaps the rest as well, we will all be cremated for lack of burial space. Therefor everyone should donate as much of their body as is useful to another. why not, your no longer using it? They just replaced a mans hands! They came from someone dead not alive. ITS TIME TO MOVE OUT OF THE BACKWATERS OF RELIGIOUS TABOOS AND STEP UP TO A TIME OF SIMPLE LOGIC.

I applaud Obama's efforts to automatically place a person as a organ donor on their drivers license, making the non donor the optional choice. If the rest of the world follows suit in other similar efforts, we will soon feel the effect of having a general and continuos supply of organs to choose from.

Cheer to all who participate in recycling themselves. jajajaLOL

Yes, yes, and yes. Without organ donation we wouldn't have our little cup of pink fizz. poppyjazz dot com who thanks to two very special families, gave a mum, a brother, sister, grandparents, cousins and in laws the most precious little girl to share for the past nine years.
Would we buy a donor? No.

I agree that is a good question. I do not think it is possible to make a decision unless you have been in the situation. It is easy to say that you do not believe in organ donation. But what would you do if a loved one was dying and their only chance of survival was through a transplant. Would you tell them they will have to die? I do not think choosing sides is important. I think that it is more important to understand the value of the discussion itself. Without discussion we would not understand the topic in its entirety. Secondly, with discussion the goal is to find reconciliation. We must turn an argument into a consensus rather than a heated scream-off. I have a blog page dedicated to the importance of debate such as this. Do you think we can find reconciliation in the organ donation debate?
