No organs. But I have a piano you can have.
ReplyDeleteThe question should be what is 4/5 of 4 or what is 2/3 of 5? Did you watch the city council meeting last night?
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm proud to be an organ donor. I believe that the only thing that survives of a person is their soul, and you don't need your body in the next life. If my parts can help someone live a fuller life, then who am I to deny them that?
ReplyDeleteyes, i am an organ donor.
ReplyDeletei believe i'm going to get a new body when i get to heaven because i sure have used this one for a long time.
If my eyes can be used to help someone see, my liver help someone to live and any other part they can have
for research. Just burn what is left of me and keep it in a jar,box or just throw me in the ocean for the fish. Hey it's all about recycling.
Is sure am an organ donor now. A few years ago I was injured severely and thanks in part to donated skin used for temporary grafting, it helped keep me alive. So now when I go, I want to possibly return the favor.
ReplyDeletei am a donor, have been for 17 yrs. at first i just signed up because it figured why not, but after the loss of my 17 yr old cousin in a tragic auto accident it only confirmed my decision. she too had signed up to be an organ donor (w/ her mom's permission) she has helped so many others live better fuller lives.
ReplyDeleteI have donated my body to Science Care (www.sciencecare.com). I carry a card that has a toll-free number to call in the event of my death. They will, at no charge, take my body for medical research. I've done this for two reasons: one, the research that will benefit others, and two, because I absolutely refuse to leave my family to spend an outrageous sum of money for a headstone, casket, vault and all the other trappings that make funeral homes rich. All I need is my spirit when I move on to another plane, if there is one.
ReplyDeleteThe only cost to my family will be $45 if they choose to have my cremated remains returned to them.
ABSOLUTELY! Have been ever since that little boy was shot in Italy and his organs went to save 7 different people!! I was so touched and AMAZED!! Give back ...even when you're dead and gone!

Yup, when I'm done with them somebody else can use them!
ReplyDeleteANON 7:56 You need a tune up! ANNON 8:01 what does this have to do with organ donations?
ReplyDeleteYes. Though my body has internally a great deal of problems so transplant is out of the choices of use I hope they can learn something about diabetis or what ever else may be taking its toll on my insides. I would like to make sure that the scientist or who ever get rid of the left overs and not dump it on my family when they are through. I have to say and act of kindness and the donation of time to the young and old may show bigger return than you heart or kidney. Just my opinion
ReplyDeletewhoever gets my "orgin" sure is gonna have a happy wife.
ReplyDeletedidnt see the humor huh joe, or ya mad about my god remark?
ReplyDeleteI am an organ donor. I like the idea that when I am gone, someone might live, or at least have a better life because of me.
ReplyDeleteI would want someone to be a doner, if I had a loved one that needed a transplant, it is only fair to be willing to be a donor.
I'm proud to be a body donor. I did it so that my body may benefit others. My family is proud of what I want and will respect my wishes. Who knows, maybe a cure can be found for something that is taking so many lives right now.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother received a kidney from an organ donor. It gave her several additional years without having to be on machines.
