Question:
Answers:
Organ donation is a great program, however it is very uninformed, misinformed and undereducated. In oder to donate your vital organs, you must be alive (albeit braindead) and on life support. They take you to the Operating Room, and once they have harvested what they want, they take you off the life support and you officially die. If you simply die and then donate, your organs are not transplanted into another person, they are used for dissection. Also, there are massive incisions made from the top of your arm to the wrist and from your hip bone to the top of your foot to remove the long bones (this constitutes as "tissue" donation), and then they skin from the back, buttocks and thighs are shaved off. Again, it is a good program, but many people are not aware of the amount of mutilation done to the body and that donation of vital organs requires you to be alive.
Also, to address the issue of doctors/paramedics not saving you, that is not true, because whether or not you are a donor is the very last thing on their mind, nevermind the fact that they have no possible way of knowing who needs an organ , and whether or not you are even suitable for donation. And since you need to be alive in the first place to be a donor, why wouldn't they be doing everything in their power to save you, because, again, you can only donate vital organs if you are alive!
Lastly, there is absolutely no charge to the families of the donors or recipients for the organs, the transplant organizations foot the bill for this.
Yes Im an organ donor. No views... its just the right thing to do.
