Are you an organ donor

[clawhammer]

I almost got in a head on collision this morning at 60 mph, and after I got back, the first thing I did was fill out the donor information on the back of my drivers licence. What about you, are you an organ donor?

[SiGNAL748]

Yup.

nope cause ive heard alot of stories about people getting in bad car accidents, the doctors think they are going to die. Then the person pulls through, but they are missing a kidney.

I am and i think everyone should be.....you're dead, you don't need organs! Help save someone else.

Wouldn't they wait until you were dead to start ripping out your guts?

they dont always know your not dead, or not save able.

True story, i know the guy this happened to.

A friend of our family was in a bad accident. They pretty much pronounced him dead at the scene. No one was doing anything to save him. he wasnt breathing, had no pulse. Well when they had him in the ambulance, there was a new paramedic. His trainer told him to practice his CPR on this guy cause hes dead. Well after a few minutes of practice he started breathing again and had a pulse. After that they rushed him to the hospital where he made a full recovery.

The only reason that paramedic did CPR was for practice. They had already announced him dead on the spot.

Yeah, but they didn't rip his guts out on the scene. I'm not really worried about that, because they need to get you to the hospital before they tear you up.

I have heard stuff like this before but I feel still its a 1 in a million shot after you've hit the lotto.

I am one

Yes.

In PA, you are only truly an organ donor IF you have it listed on your license AND your next of kin KNOW that you are an organ donor.

oh yea i remember that when i got my full liscene at 17 I had to have my dad sign its cool hack my dead kid up.


No really the goverment form said that exact words and all.

Pa is wack.

[flatlander757]

No, I'm not because at the time I was filling it out, I wasn't thinking right and though that they could just call you and say they needed your kidney or __oz of blood

I'm not going to go out of my way to fill it out now.

[xXxRocker5150]

yea I am, but I'm scared of being harvested

[RACER D12]

Im not on my license for the same reasons above mentioned. I know its dumb but it makes me feel better. I told my parents though that if I do die that I want to be a donor. So yea I am.
