Organ Donations...................
Question: Organ Donations!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?
When you choose to be an orgna donar do you have choices, like if my husband needed a heart transplant can I choose that I only want him to recieve and not someone I dont know (if our blood and everything is compatable of course)!.!. Or could I choose only to donate to women and things like that!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
i can answer this 1 for ya luvly! Nope, not in Australia anyway!. You can choose what parts to donate, but not who they go to!. And no family members can recieve donated organs form another (in a deceased situation)!. Another crap thing is that all organ donations remain anonymous!. The only information given to the donors family is what organs have been donated, but they would never tell you who to, and vice versa - the recipient cannot know who they recieved the organs off!. I reckon if both parties agree to find out about each other, they should be allowed to have that opportunity to meet the family of the person that gave them a second chance at life!.

Some people who need kidney transplants or liver transplants undergo something called a living donor transplant!. In these procedures, a person who is known to the patient volunteers for, and is found to be acceptable to undergo the donor procedure!. In the case of the kidney transplant, one kidney is taken from the donor and then transplanted to the recipient!. In the case of the liver, a portion of the donor's liver is removed and transplanted into the recipient!. These are the only cases in which organ donation is done less than anonymously!.
Cadaveric organ donation is done in a completely blinded fashion!. When someone has become brain-dead and is identified by family members as an organ donor, the united network for organ sharing (UNOS) is activated and a specialized team is immediately brought on site!. A series of laboratory tests are run on blood samples in order to both evaluate the safety of using the organs and for blood and tissue typing!.
The tissue typing is done quite rapidly, and within a short period of time, the information is compared with lists of patients awaiting transplants within a fairly large geographic radius!. Organs are offered based on need and on how well the tissue typing matches!.
Transplant surgeons who have patients awaiting organs are notified of the availability, and they are rushed to the facility where the deceased is being managed!. Sometimes transplant surgeons will arrive by car and sometimes even by air!. There will usually be multiple teams of transplant surgeons who arrive!. There will be one team there to recover a heart and perhaps the lungs, there will be another to recover the liver and yet another or perhaps two others to recover the kidneys and the pancreas!.
The acquisition of organs is an amazingly complex procedure!. The goal is to have the organs either receiving oxygen from the deceased's blood flow, or packed in an icy solution with no time in between!. A well orchestrated dance of surgical procedures occurs with first the heart/lung team and then the liver team and then the kidney team!. In a very short period of time, each surgical team is rushing back to their home facility to meet up again with their recipient patients who have been rushed into the hospital from home, sometimes in the middle of the night!.
There is no way to do this extremely time sensitive series of procedures with the added complexity of trying to subgroup potential recipients by way of additional constraints!. The united network for organ sharing is blinded, on purpose, to these kinds of personal details about the patients who are listed for transplant!. If they were not, then people would be concerned about the possibility for bias!. We cannot allow that to even be a possible concern!.
Absolutely impartial fairness, effective information exchange, and above all else SAFETY are crucial to the success of organ sharing!.
If this were not true, or even if the public were concerned that it might not be true, the program would be put in serious jeopardy!.
Following an organ donation, UNOS typically generates a letter, and I receive a copy of this as the surgeon who declared a patient brain-dead and I believe that the next of kin gets a copy of this letter as well!. It's very nice, and it potentially could be very helpful with a sense of closure after the loss of the family member and the organ donation process!. The letter says something to the effect, "Thanks to your help, a man with severe heart disease was returned to his wife and two children, a woman with liver disease is back with her husband, and a woman with diabetes and kidney failure is back with her children and grandchildren!.!.!."

Hi Kate,
No honey we here in Australia do not have a choice!. If you are an organ donor, then your organs will go to whom ever they are compatible with, and we don't have a choice, nor are we allowed to know who it went to, etc!.
But then if you were to donate Bone Marrow/kidney etc like that then yes you do have a choice!.
Hope this has helped!.
Cya
Have a great day tomorrow!.
