Off Topic – Organ Donation

Do you, would you, wouldn’t you..why and why not etc?

Personally I agree with that you should have to opt out rather than opt in. xxx

U watching Loose Woman?? Lol xx

yeah lol and it was on This Morning…jeez all this daytime TV is driving me barmy. I’m also starting to find Jeremy Kyle attractive 😯 xxx

I agree with you that you should have to opt out. I am on the register and my family know my wishes. It’s terrible that they could refuse when I’m gone though. Almost everyone would accept an organ so why not give one when you don’t need it anymore xx

did any of you watch that programme last night about ppl that needed heart transplants i was nearly crying! but all turned out well in the end, made me think about possibly been a doner, i always fout that id like to go out of the world as i came in with everything still there but after watching that i dunno! x

Yeah I saw the first part of that last night, glad it ended happy x

My bf is a theater porter, and we speak bout his work all the time. Its really sad that when someone is critical in theater, not half as much energy goes into savin them. Say a call comes in that someone is critical, a call goes out to all to all available theater staff that a “harvest” is comin up, then everyone sort of stnds aronud with containers to put the harvested organs in. I no organ donor is brilliant, and I will donate mine, but I just hope it isnt done in such a way that im gonna b a product on a conveyor belt. If that makes sense?! Xxx

If someone dies in theater they can’t just take their organs there and then. They have to inform the family and ask for permission. If donation is a possibility the patient is put on life support to keep the organs oxygenated, until permission has been granted. But your life comes first and everything is done to try and save you x

my nan carried a doner card with her and she ticked to donate everything! but she was really ill and was been cared for at home when she died so nothing was taken, think if she had been in hospital they would have taken things x

Yeah there are a few things that can stop you from being able to donate, for example sometimes where and how you die. I hope I’m able to when my time is up x

I’d give any of you girls my organs – well most of you:)

No actually- all of you !!!! xx

Anchovie you are so lovely,I would donate everything I could,if its my time to go and I can give someone a new life then so be it,xxx

Would my 260cc and 240cc be of any use one day?

Oh hello tina! You’ve been quiet today- had a nice rest? Xxx

I agree its a nice thing to do for other people, but i get abit freaked out by the whole thing and i think id like to just be left alone and left to rest. xxxx lol

I am on the donor register, and i ticked everything apart from EYES there is just something about giving my eyes away that i just could do, that really goes through me…… xx

haha i said that to my mum last nite ill donate my implants if they do me an uplift once ther out b4 i go in my coffin lol! least id be going down lookin fab!! x

couldnt**

I have had a lovely rest thankyou,anchovie,could do with some chicken soup.xxx

i am a registered organ doner and i think more people should do it but if they knew the things i do to my body im not sure anyone would want any of me …lol

im on the register, my best friend had kidney faliure and was on dyaliss for 5 years it was awfull, after 2 live donor transplants one of which was her dads, both failed she kinda gave up a bit of hope that shed ever get better.

then a 34 year old rta victim donated and the operation was sucsessful that was 4 years ago and my friend is full of life now.

seeing what she went through made me think, you cant take it when your gone and you could save so many lives what better way to leave this world. x

Lol. that sounds bad Millie lol x

debs30,totally agree,if your leaving this world give something back,but not everyone will be able to for reasons beyond their control.xxx

i now believe organ donation is a good thing and you should opt out rather than opt for it, years ago i never agreed with it because i watched a documentry saying how they turned life support machines off early because they wanted peoples organs. but i have had a change of heart regarding this subject and would def give up my organs, all except my eyes though coz i beleive eyes are the window to the soul so id wanna keep them ( you prob think im nutty for that comment lol) xx

Laura21 I wanted to press the like button to ur comment

Nikki I actually feel ill I literally typed the EXACT same thing re eyes!! Honestly the exact same thing! That’s fooking weirded me out! Lol I was going to put it with mh orginal post but my lappy dropped tintereb connection n I couldnt be arsed to type it all out again! Xxx

Nobody wouid want my lungs I’d give some organs! btw are we allowed to be buried with our implants?

thats mad maybe its a niki thing lol. i have met a few people who have felt the same about the eyes, i once read about a little boy who donated all his organs when he died, (he was on life support) but the one thing he asked his mother to do was not to donate his eyes. so he could look down on her from heaven xx

We NEED a “like button” MYA mod??? Pwetty please xxx

i seen a post on here with a video link about how tough implants are and they tried microwaving them and they didnt melt i wonder if im cremated will there be ash and 2 700 implants left omg what a thought

mya needs to get in touch with mr mark zukerberg and learn some of the facebook traits to put on here lol xx

they can have all my organs first thou x

Lmao caroline! Makes u wonder tho! Hehe xx

yeah maybe they got a special bin for them haha

I would donate anything to save someone else’s life. I won’t need it when I’m dead and gone, so let someone else have I life if I can’t xx

i watched a programme once and they found a dead woman no idea who she was and they traced her through her serial number on her implants.

nikki i always thought the same about the eyes and im sure ive not ticked that on my form, that was untill i read katie pipers book, now im like take what you want eyes, skin they can have it all. x

I’m gonna donate everything including eyes. I liken to think that when I die a blind person will be able to see everything they have always wanted to see, I’m not gonna need them

The ‘harvest’ comment has really freaked me out. Sounds like something out of a horror film! 😯

It sounds awful but it’s not. When you work in that situation everyday it become a nickname. You become cosseted to it. To a outsider it sound horrific. Professionalism should come into play here and people should be watching what they are saying. To someone outside of the profession I.e. You guys, it makes it sound conveyer belt like but it’s really not. In the theatre they have to be prepared for everything so everything is on hand xx

I’m a nurse and have done a stint in theatre. Would just like to say that theatre staff fight hard to save every patients life regardless if they are on the organ donation register or not. They do not do a half arsed job at trying to save someones life just so they can ‘harvest’ their organs. X

Exactly Katie. People who ain’t in the trade don’t understand the lingo. Nurses are on a register and accountable for there actions same as surgeons are. Every each individual who enters into a theatre as a patient is treated the same xx

I am not likein the sound of this :-< If im gonna get torched and have a little box then yeah! but if im goin to be buried i think i’d like to be intact my organs aint much cop anyway as a smoker x x
