Acceptance of other people's organs and blood.?!
Question:
Acceptance of other people's organs and blood.?
While I have no problems donating blood (except for the crap service that Red Cross provides it's clients) I have no issues with donating blood. Strangely enough though I don't want to accept other people's blood. If I had the choice I would not accept other people's organs prefering to die instead. I feel I would be less "me" if I took someone's liver and especially someone else's heart. Does anyone else feel the same way? And if so, what reasons?
Answers:
i had to receive a kidney and pancreas from a donor 4 1/2 years ago. the organs become your own,you take medicine to help your body to accept and keep the new organs alive and healthy. i have also receive many pints of blood from other people. these days there are so many test that are done on the blood that i feel 100% safe recieveing other people's blood. i am proud of you for giving blood becuase one day you could save someone's life.
