Thread: Organ & Blood Donation

The problem with the lung transplants were that they never mentioned to the recipient that they came from a smoker. If they had, precautions could have been taken, even if it were nothing more than more careful screening of future test results.
That said, most people given the choice between a "maybe" lung, and "I'm dead without this" will take whatever they can get.

I myself know people waiting and waiting and waiting....


Just ask your family to see to it that anybody getting your parts knows of your history. I believe it can be arranged.

I am down a kidney as it is and pretty much live because of dacron by pass grafts or vein by pass grafts. Otherwise for me it's ashes in a paper bag tossed into the ocean. : )

They can probably find some use for you, if not medically for the parts then for med students to study.
Or maybe just use you as an bad example, I know I would qualify for that.

They can always use your bones for all sorts of grafting material,are irradiated and of no harm whatsoever.
Hell you can have one of the resto guys do some scales for one of your razors you leave to your son,Hella idea me thinks
Can see it Now,Bubba,your daddy left his finest razor for you,the scales are made out of his femur

I am also an organ donor, I donate plasma when I can, and also blood. Why not help others who truely need it.

Dang Lemur, that was hardcore.

You don't want Glen doing that job; he'd have too much fun doing it.
