Nancy Kay	Not really, only because I am probably a poor candidate for transplants and the like, due to my health and the medications I take. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bobweb	No because I'm old and I know they're worn out. However if you still want them, you can have them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

But Inside I'm Screaming	I most certainly would! I wouldn't be alive if someone hadn't donated a kidney to me 18 years ago! When my husband passed away 2 years ago, we donated what tissues we could, it made a lot of people's lives better (at least 50 that I'm aware of!). As for people who think it's against God's plan-remember that the Bible says that we shall become whole again in Heaven (on second thought, maybe they're afraid because they're going the other way! lol). It's a personal choice in the end, just make sure your family knows your wishes. It doesn't matter if you carry a donor card, if your family doesn't agree-it won't happen. And, for you ignorant putzes who think that physicians let people die just to get their organs.....do you live in a Stephen King novel?! How can you be so incredibly ignorant and stupid at the same time! I've worked in emergency medicine for almost 20 years, and we would NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, allow someone to die just for their organs and tissues. Paranoid much? And, no, we don't let people die for lack of insurance either!!!! Good thing you brain tissue donations aren't perfected yet-of course, you all would be disqualified! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

HKlover	yea i think i would depends who to tho close family freinds and people who would really really need them that a good question Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

TLG	Yes. Take them all. Use them all. Save as many lives as you can. And whatever can't be used, take for testing and experimenting. Use the remainder of my body for finding cures and treatments to save future lives. Let Dr.s in training practice on me rather than live patients. I don't have an inflated ego that needs a $10k casket burried in the ground preserved for eternity serving no purpose. I am not selfish. --------------------------------------... if you choose yes (to be a organ donor) if you are in an accident and there is any chance of you dying.. they will most likely let you die so they can take your organs..i dont say this to be ridiculous its the truth, the demand for organ donors is extremely high and basically if you have any chance of living it wouldnt matter anyways they woudl just let you die so they could take your organs because you are a donor. --------------------------------------... That is ignorance and completely untrue. Actually, if you were a donor, they'd be more likely to keep you alive longer as to keep your body from deteriorating. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Campbell Gramma	I don't have an organ, do you need a piano? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

littleorangecow	Definitly. Have you ever seen the movie John Q? His son would have died had someone not donated their organs. This happens everyday in real life. My 13 year old cousin got a kidney transplant 2 days ago...and it may have saved his life. I don't see why someone WOULDN'T donate their organs. Why do they need them if they're dead? I think it would be amazing to know that after I'm gone I can still be helpful to someone on earth! And I don't believe it's true up there where it says that if you are a donor they will not try as hard to save you. It's their job to save you...I highly doubt doctors want anyone that they are working on to die. That wouldn't benefit the doctor at all! Doctors look bad when someone under their supervision dies....so...I highly doubt that's a factor in any organ donors death. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ankit c	no idea Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

*oreo girl*	yea i would because i would be dead and i would wanna save someone from dying.. and besides i have no more use for them... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

strangershvegoodcandy	I would and I am a donor. I won't be using my organs when I'm gone so why shouldn't I give the chance to save another life? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jessi	I am a full organ donor...that means everything that is still in working order (even my skin) will go to someone else if they need it...also, because I am a full donor, I can donate my body after the organs have been removed to the medical university and they will do research and study what is left in classes, then the university cremates it when they are done and my family doesn't have to pay for anything Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LX V	I will when I die. I don't need them anymore. Harvest everything you can and use the rest for forensic entymology research. I think that the process of embalming is ghastly (in the literal sense of the word) and I like the idea of helping as many people (I forget what the estimate is but I know it's a lot) after my death I might make one exception though . . . that whole face transplant thing really weirds me out. I can't help thinking how it would feel to be walking down the street and see the face of someone you knew who died six months ago. It's hypocritical of me I know but . . . yeah I'm just not comfortable with it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

random_synchronicity	Yes, once I am gone from my body there is no point in not donating my organs. If they provide life to someone else, why should I be so selfish as to keep them? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ell C	yes, i would. but i'd first donate my pancreas to my younger brother who has juvenile diabetes. he's the reason why i'd ever donate anything. if it weren't for his diabetes, i'd probably say no. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

*.:BeAuTiFuL:.*	i would if i was ABSOLUTLEY GARENTEED to die.. i had this discussion with a friend of mine the other night.. on your lisense they ask you, if you are an organ donor? if you want to be? and what not.. if you choose yes (to be a organ donor) if you are in an accident and there is any chance of you dying.. they will most likely let you die so they can take your organs..i dont say this to be ridiculous its the truth, the demand for organ donors is extremely high and basically if you have any chance of living it wouldnt matter anyways they woudl just let you die so they could take your organs because you are a donor.. if you arent a donor they would try that much harder to save your life.. i know it sounds weird and probably a little crazy but its the truth,.. hopefully i put it in the most appropriate words i could. goodluck with your paper.. and email me or message me on my myspace http://www.myspace.com/jaimelaine.. if you have any questions or comments or need anymore idea's or advice.. hope i helped some.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Hooch	Yes because if I needed an organ and there was only one person in the world that had the organ but they wouldn't give it up, I would feel like crap. I wouldn't want anyone to have to feel that pain when the doctor tells you that there aren't any organs and you are going to die. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nepetarias	Yes! After a person is dead or on deaths door, there is no reason why not to donate their organs. You certainly won't need them anymore. If you haven't been able to donate time, money, effort for causes during your lifetime, donating organs would be a good way to help those who need organ transplants. I've even considered donating my entire body to science or to a medical college. Many medical colleges are in need of cadavers for research and as a learning tool. There are thousands of people who would be helped not only from organ transplants, but also for skin grafts, corneal transplants, stem cells, and multiple other ways your body could help. It seems to me a better use to allow your body to be used for science than letting it rot in the ground of little use for anything except the insects. Also, I would rather the doctors would "let" me die and use my body for good, than let me lie in a vegetative state indefinitly. The only ones who profit from a person lying in a coma are the hospitals or care facilities. Wouldn't it be a better use of time and money to allow yourself to be used for transplants? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CrunchyConTina♥	Of course. If I could help a sick person get better, why shouldn't I? If I were sick, I would want the same done for me. When I die, I plan to donate all my useful organs, and help a dying, unfortunate person in need. That's the right thing to do. It is what Jesus would do. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cryingtree1979	of course! probably not while im alive-as i need them, but once im dead theyre just gonna rot away anyway....id much rather help someone then rot. but arent you supposed to use your own opinion? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CL R	I would donate my organs because at the point I could donate them they do no good for me, but can give a good quality of life (or a better quality of life) to somebody else. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

maybe	Any of my organs that are still useable I want to donate. (including my eyes) I don't need my organs when I am dead so I would love to save another life or allow someone else to have a full life with my organs. I will be living on in someone else which i think is the coolest thing ever. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

RickinAlaska	Yes. But not having any insurance, I won't sign anything stating my wishes. I don't want to ever be on the brink of death and have some doctor make the decision: Is he a liability? Or an asset? My family knows my wishes. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hazmat1424	yes, If it werent for people who donate I wouldnt have had 10 more years with my father. Anyone who thinks other wise is not human and shows no traits for the betterment of the world. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

scytherbug@sbcglobal.net	yes I would because it would save another persons life if I don;t need them than I should donate them and not be selfish Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

silverearth1	yes I am an organ donator . When you die .....what are you going to do with them anyway? Nothing , so it's best to give somebody an everlasting present from you. This already has saved many people in this world Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

petebolos	YES - I"m going to be dead so I won't know they are missing , and if it could save a life or improve somebody's life , so why not Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pissed off pussycat!	I would definitely donate my organs. I am gone, and I can save or improve lives. I don't really understand why anyone wouldn't! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

clueless yet pretty	yes i would because other people need them more then i do so they can have them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

?	Certainly I will donate as after my death I don't have any use of them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

alexis221	Yes.. I am already died and there are people out there that need some kind of organ to live, I would like to pass that organ down to them so they can go on living a life. I already lived mine... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Speedy	Yes I definitely would, and plan to. Why? Because when I die, I will no longer need them. Why let them go to waste when there are people in the world that are waiting on a list for new organs. People whose life depends on a transplant to live. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
