Did you answer no? That must mean you have never had a family member in need of an organ.

You have to put yourself in other peoples shoes. Go to your local hospital and sit in the Kidney Dialysis room with all the kidney failure patients...yeah for all 3-4 hours of it...yeah every other day for as long as the Kidney waiting list is (like 5 years) still say no?

My mom was on dialysis for a few years, then got a kidney from her sister that lasted only 2 years...She had no choice but to go on the list (Kidney list is like 5 years) but she went on the Kidney/Pancreas (diabetes) list which was like 7 years. Her organs finally came from a 24 year old paint huffer which couldnt have been a better donor since it wasnt a brain transplant. She has now been trouble free the past 2 or so years, happily living life with 4 kidneys inside of her.

Strapped to a dialysis machine 12 hours a week which is total of 4368 hours! Not to mention we had no family vacations more than 50 miles away since its a hassle to schedule dialysis with other counties/states...because each 4 hours costs like $10K or something like that.

The sticker is BS...people should be donors by default and have a sticker that says NOT a donor. It just rubs off anyways.

Thats awesome.

Donating blood is also important. My mom went thru a few gallons of it when the nurses nicked her organs during a biopsy.

But i guess people that are against donating organs are also against donating blood...so dont come crawling to me when you need blood...i wont give you any...sorry but you have to give to take.

Plus there is not enough room on earth to bury everyone in 50 years...cemetary plots will cost as much as a house...so our bodies will most likely get burnt up anyways.

Thanks for donating.

i have a question for those vote no because of the religious reason.

your religion won't let you donate your organ, but when you are the one that need an organ to survive does your religion let you take organ from other people?
