Organ donations > do you carry a card ?!


Question: Organ donations > do you carry a card !?
Hi Folks,

I do have a card in my wallet, duly signed, to say that they can use what they need when I perish!.

However!.

My liver is no good, too much beer!.
My lungs are dodgy, too much smoking
My heart is genetically a bad prospect
My eyeballs have just been fitted with bionic lenses, so they are no good
My kidneys may just be OK, but unsure
What is left of any value to the transplant surgeons !?

My voice, my wonky left leg, my questionable skills at playing a violin !?

What do you reckon !?

I carry a doner card - always have, always will, and when i die, I'm donating my body to medical science!. When I'm dead I've got no use for it!.

Keep your doner card!. You're skin can be used for skin grafts for burn victims!. There aren't enough people in Britain with Doner Cards!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No I haven't and don't want to!.
Some years ago, my brother was involved in a motor cycle accident and suffered severe injuries!. He was put on a life-support machine and after 36 hours, his wife was asked if he carried a card because they would have to turn the machine off and as he'd 'died' 4 times there wasn't much hope for him!.
She said he didn't and also could they leave him on the life support machine for a while longer!.
During the next 36 hours,he 'died ' a further 3 times and when another patient was admitted , it was needed for him!.
Well, he started to breathe for himself and is still 'alive and kicking' today BUT he knows that if he'd have had a Donor Card on him or someone else had needed the equipment , he wouldn't be alive today to tell the taleWww@Answer-Health@Com

I carry a card - why should bits of me that could save someone's life go to waste!?

LOL you crack me up Bob - can you imagine some poor person getting one of your kidneys and then suddenly getting this burning desire to start playing a fiddle, having never even set their eyes on one before!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Skin can always be used for grafts!.

And yes, I do carry a card, saying any bit of me can be used!.

I'd also be ok with my cadaver being used to train students - not sure if that's covered by the donor card or not!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
