Do You Think Organ Donation After Death Should Be Mandatory?

probably because its so much of its OWN debatable issue, and not really what the thread topic is asking.

i'm sure there are a lot of people with opinions on that subject.

They are making great strides in stem cell research. recently they even managed to grow a working human heart, except it was only the size of a mouse. but it's getting there.

that is pretty epic, medical science FTW.

no, should not be mandatory..
im not a listed organ donor, and will never be one..

as someone already mentioned, there are too many definitions of what constitutes death, and too many times you hear about doctors overly eager to pull the plug to get the organ. Almost happened to my grandmother.... so fuck that.

I have no care for my organs after im dead, and will gladly donate them if i can not be saved etc....and have left my wishes known to my wife, so that she or other family members can decide for me when the time is right etc. So doctors can not decide on my part. With the law in Australia, thats all that is needed. A relative, spouse etc that knows your wishes and lets the doctors know at the appropriate time.

as a funeral director/embalmer, it alot of work getting donors to look good for the services, but keeping in mind that the organs harvested could save lives. my main complaint is when "core" comes to harvest these organs, they should treat the deceased as a person..even tho the spirit has left the body the body and family deserve respect! pitching in on funeral services would be another way core could show respect. now we all know that these havvested organs arent donated to patients in need!

wow, someone who works as an embalmer. i'm glad there are people out there who want to do that job.

Neat first post bro. I kinda thought that, like say they took your eyes or something, and you're all... Sunglasses casket.

No, it should not be mandatory, my body is my own and I and only I can choose if and when my organs get donated.

I an not a donor and at this point have no desire to be one, I can't say "never" because I do not know what the future holds or how my feelings about this may change in later years.

When you see the body the eyelids are shut. I did that once and regretted it a bit, I'd prefer my last memory of the person to be when they were living.

They probably look like a dog that's been fixed.

Your eyeball sacks.

I think it may be slightly different here in the UK, as with our NHS, we don't pay upfront for any surgery, if it's needed, it's done, although usually with a long ass waiting list.

As for myself, I will donate whatever they need, except my eyes. If I can help anyone, great. I won't need it, so why not.

Also, with ELs idea that some form of reparation goes to the donators family to go towards costs, it's not a bad idea.....

So as far as transplants go, I think there is less of a 'money' issue on it over here. Obv people gotsta get paid etc, but I think there is more of a life saving element to it.

Yeah, this. You can't just take the eyeballs out and like staple the lids shut and think it's going to look anywhere near normal for the funeral.



Also, I'll respond to a bunch of other stuff when I get a chance.

Don't they just put marbles or something in there?

Dog testicles. That's what they use them for after neutering your pet Fido.

Well what you don't know won't hurt I guess

Already needed never ending therapy sessions if he's pulling the eyelids of his dead family members open.

Am I an organ donor? YES
Should it be mandatory? NO... you would probably have more dead bodies on your hands if someone told you that they had the right to hack up your recently dead loved one.
I had a student with a mother that had a faulty liver. She was going to die and he and I both knew it though we always were upbeat when we talked about her chances of getting better. one day out of the blue she gets THE phone call and now she is healthy and involved in his life the way she always wanted to be. Donation of your organs is one of the most selfless things you can do.

Love the graphic 'hack'ing images, teach.

I'd like for a pretty girl to have my eyes. Just so I could feel like I was trolling bros from beyond gave.

A bro staring lovingly into another bros eyes while he cums.

What a homosexual.
