Organ Donation

[JanieDough]

i've often thought of donating bone marrow, but i hear it's really fucking painful and i have no health insurance so if anything were to go wrong...

maybe when i have insurance. and pain killers.

You have to pay for health care in America if anything goes wrong when you're donating stuff??? Jesus titty Christ!!! :willy_nilly::willy_nilly::willy_nilly:

Janie - it can be...mainly because they are going right into the bone. I'm registered for that, but haven't been called up yet. A friend of mine has donated twice and while he said it was painful, the reward was far greater...also, if you are donating, they will take care of you...just like when you donate blood. It's obviously a little more intensive, but they take care of you.

I know in PA you don't and I don't think you do as long as it goes wrong WHEN you are donating...but if let's say you were to get an infection or something like that and need to be hospitalized, it's a bit tricky. Yep, the system is quite broken.

No No I meant what if there is complications or something? Will they really take care of it?

yeah exactly


Look I puke when they take blood can you imagine me giving bone marrow?! :eek

I had a bone marrow biopsy 5 years ago this month. I know how painful that was. I gotta believe a transplant is worse.

Just call me the Tin Woodman from Oz from now on

If you watch that film closely, the Tin Man (or woodsman) actually had the biggest heart of all and it was with him all the time....I'm not saying...I'm just saying...

 

[Tyler Durden]

Yep. Did it when I changed my Driving Licence over. They're taking everything :ninja

 

[Margene]

I've been an organ donor since it was first offered on the California driver's license. I don't remember what year that was, but they glued a red sticky circle on the license. It's indelibly on the license I carry now though.

I won't need them and maybe they would be of some use to someone.

I've considered becoming a bone marrow donor, but lazily, I just haven't taken that step.

 

[Light]

I could never allow organs to be taken from my body after death.

I salute those who do though

 

[justmee]

I've just officially donated any of my organs to others who need then after my death and got my official letter confirming it today. Has anyone else done this? Way I look at is the're no use to me when I'm dead so anyone else who needs them is welcome to them.

i got dibs on the liver

 

[ClicheGuevara]

Why keep them when I don't need them? I plan on being cremated anyways..So i definitely won't be needing them!

why not?

 

[Thornless]

It's on my drivers license, to take anything they want.

 

[darkcgi]

Thats a good idea but I dont think they will want mine

Peter you left your liver off that list right.

 

[Staci]

i have been an organ donor since i was 15. why do i need them. and honestly after your autospy they put them into a black garbage bag and sew them back into your chest, so its not like they are where they are supposed to be anyway

 

[darkcgi]

yeah people are so unaware of what really goes on in the world

I should probably donate my sperm
after the kid I had he is perfect
and 4 grade levels above the rest
and hes only 5

 

[Staci]

i have seen autopises done......wanna know what they do with your testes?

 

[satinbutterfly]
