Answers: It's not like they need those organs when they are dead why do they still not wanna donate?

They don't need their organs and there are a lot of people out there dying because they cannot get an organ soon enough to save their lives. Some families believe the body of their loved one will be disfigured. This is not true. People can donate almost every organ, bone and tissue and still have an open casket funeral. They do not make incisions to remove the organs in any place where it will be seen during a funeral. Until you have a loved one die while waiting on the organ transplant list, most people do not give this live saving act much thought. I wish everyone would donate - it could save so many lives.

i don't believe in unnatural selection. Report It

  • I want to donate my whole body to science. I have alot of problems and it would be nice if they used my body to find a cure

    Sometimes hospitals are too quick to encourage family members to pull the plug if their a donor.

    because their organs are a part of them and they want to be whole when they are buried. that was my thought process, until my stepson died and we donated some of his organs and I saw how much good it did for other people's lives. I now plan on donating my organs.

    Probably because when they were alive they didn't want to donate anything...so they wouldn't want to when they are dead...even if they can't fell it. It would be like taking a peice out of them that wouldn't make them them. Even if they are dead.

    mine aren't in very good shape now -- they wouldn't be much of an improvement

    Because for the most part their remains will not be disposed of with any reverence. Little will be used and the rest trashed plain and simple. Same as reports that many people who have cut their hair specifically for "locks of love" and then came to find out it was trashed in back of the salon! Not enough follow through and accountability.

    I really don't know. It is not fair that some selfish person dies without giving someone else another chance to live.

    Sir Liam Donaldson believes the shortage of kidneys, livers and hearts is so acute that the country needs a donation system that will presume patients have given consent for their body parts to be transplanted.
