Organ donation

Recommended Posts

I'm not an organ donor. I've read a couple science fiction stories about "what-if" scenarios for organ-donation. Plus, in the words of Bart Simpson: "I don't want my organs touching some sick guy"

 

The last bit was a joke.

those who donate their own organs are great.

I don't donate my blood on the selfish principle that if my blood cures cancer or something, I want to sell it and get rich, rather than someone getting my cancer-curing blood for free.

 

Is that legal/moral?

Is it legal? Dunno.

 

Is it moral? Well, in my opinion we all make up our own morals so if you think it's moral, thats just fine by me. In fact, I'll even applaud your ability to decide for yourself what is moral.

 

 

On-topic: Organ donation? Sure. Why not? Like said before, I certainly won't be needing them when I'm dead. Besides, I think I want to be cremated, so it would be a terrible waste to burn up possibly useful and life saving or life extending organs.

a friend of mine was doing a lot of research about organ donation. Most science fiction and the part where they kill you if you are in incident and can be saved is pure bullcrap.

I remember there's some law against selling organs, mostly to avoid people getting hacked apart for certain vital parts. I think that might apply to your own organs.

Yep, I donated my brain years ago, haven't missed it. :thumbsup:

That's impossible, you can't live without your brain.

Internet needs a sarcasm font.
