| the dank | I don't think there's been a thread, but I feel that this is a very interesting topic, so I'd like to discuss it. It's my understanding that, for all different reasons, some people are willing/unwilling to donate their organs once they pass away. It could be because of religious beliefs, or for personal reasons. My question is, if possible, will YOU donate your organs when you die? Are there specific organs you won't want taken? If you don't want to, what are your reasons? Personally, I think it's greedy to keep your organs to yourself if it can save someone's life. I plan on being cremated, so I won't need them anyway, but I don't see why people (outside religious belief) would keep their organs. |

| Cozza Frenzy | I'm with you Trag. I personally won't have the slightest problem donating my organs to someone in need once I'm gone. If it can help someone live, it's definitely worth it. And as Gavin said, they can have whatever they need to take, since I'd be gone anyway |

Rep Power: 10 ![]() Level: 22 EXP: | Yeah statistics in Australia show a lot of people go without one due to a lot of people's families fighting to keep the organs, I'm like what the hell mang? I'll up for a double lung transplant in a year or two, would hate to miss out just because someone didn't want to part a set of lungs. :/ |

| ゲームオーバー | I'm fine with it, because I'll be dead anyways. Again I don't care what they take, because I'll be dead. |

| We Wrote Our Names In Blood | Exactly my thoughts. I would give up all my (internal) organs to someone who could really use them to stay alive. Keeping them is just a waste. But I would keep things like my skin and eyes, which by the way can be donated. I'd still like to look normal when I'm dead XD |

| Silh been hit by a smooth Criminal | There's a lot of BS reasons and religious misconceptions when it comes to organs. the way I see it. my body is only a shell for my spirit to inhabit while I'm on Earth. If I die Chances are I'm not gonna be needing it again. if I can help someone by giving them something I'm not using I will |
