    Are you an organ donor? If so, what made you decide to be? If not, why not?

    And as a bonus question: if a loved one approached you and asked you for an organ (one of the ones you can spare while living, of course) would you do it? If a stranger approached you and asked you the same question, would your answer be the same?
     
    While donating an organ, or part of it, would seem like the right thing to do, I wouldn't consider myself an organ donor because I feel squeamish about the thought of having parts of my body taken away (my body would probably not function the same way as before).
     
    I'm an organ doner...if I die in a car accident. I'm sorry if you want my kidney, but the thought of surgery makes me incredibly uncomfortable. If it were a family member and they absolutely could not find another doner, then I probably would. As for a stranger idk there are a ton of other people. I'm sorry, this sounds selfish and all, but I'm not keen on the idea of surgery to remove my organs. You can have them if I'm dead though. I won't need them.
     
    I'm not an organ donor. Like many others, the thought of surgery makes me squeamish... having an organ removed, even if it was for a really close family member, would really ruin me for a good while. I'd probably be hesitant unless it were close family like my parents or brother. The only thing that would make me say yes is guilt, since I'd feel like it's the right thing to do. x_o; So yeah, I'd be unsure for a family member, so of course any stranger would get a definite no lol.
     
    I am an organ donor in the event of a traffic accident. As for family I would definitely give an organ to help them out. I wouldn't for a stranger. It sounds sorta bad when I say it like this, but I owe my family. They have always been there for me and I would do anything to help them out. I can't say the same for a stranger. I mean I'm not asking for anything in return, it's just I wouldn't feel comfortable in that sort of situation.
     
    To be honest, I wouldn't, since one of the only fears I have are operations and surgery (Anything related to medical treatment). I usually have nightmares about these situations. One when I was being ripped open... Anyway, even if I donate an organ, wouldn't my body be...you know...missing a function or something?
     
    No matter what circumstance, even if it was a stranger, I would donate an organ. (As long as I had enough left. XD) I would just feel too darn guilty if I didn't, and that way that person would live. I've been through surgery before, so I know it's not half as bad as people think it to be, so I wouldn't have a problem with that. Plus, I could be friends with the person I donated to! :D As long as more people would live, I would donate all the organs I could! Hooray!

    Anyways, not quite sure about this, but I think they pay you for it... LOL, takin' out my kidneys and sellin em on the black market. XD
     
    No. A couple days before deciding to be one or not my dad had this freak out to me about how I shouldn't become a donor and begged me not to so I just didn't. BUT ANYWAY. I'm probably 3489304329x more likely to donate an organ to a complete stranger than anyone I am related to or know. Granted if it was one of the ones I like I would probably consider.
     
    I'm a donor, iirc, I'm too lazy to go find my ID. I'm dead, what am I going to do with my organs? Nothing. If something I have saves someone's life, good.

    I don't think I'd go through with it if I were alive, though. While I'm here, I kind of want my organs to stay where they are. Sorry. :(
     
    I'm not a donor, but that's because I never got around to making myself one. What would I need them for if I died?

    I would give a kidney or bone marrow or whatever to someone I cared for, but not to some complete stranger unless for some reason I was the last person on Earth who could. Since that won't happen, I'll keep my parts where they are for now and hope no one I love needs a new lung.
     
    No, not yet anyway. But I'd like to donate an organ in the future, probably a kidney. The idea of helping someone else in such a manner just seems like a good thing to do.

    Exactly this. Though if it were my brother, I'd probably spare him a few organs. Just my brother.
     
    I'm not too keen on donating organs, but if I had a splenectomy and I feel this way I don't think that donating a kidney or something would be too bad. Just as ling as I'm not awake during the procedure :P

    But yeah, if I die I'd rather help three people than rot in the ground because tbh I won't be remembered, so might as well help out with what I can.
     
    I've yet to know anyone who needs an organ transplant, but if I did, I wouldn't mind donating a kidney or something like that. I've been forced to sleep before to get my wisdom teeth removed via anesthetic, so I know I'm probably not going to feel anything during the surgery unless the doctor screws up and fails to give me the right amount of isoflurane and I wake up while my belly is cut open and the stress might cause me to bleed out and die of shock. I'm kidding, I probably wouldn't care; I'd take it like a man.

    Other than that, if I died in a car accident or something, yeah, have at me. Not like I need them anymore.

    Also, my last driver's license listed me as a donor, but the new license I was issued doesn't have the marker, so I'm not entirely sure if I still am.

    I am listed as an organ donor. I figure that once I'm dead, I'm not using the body anymore so if I can be of any use, great. As far as donating while I'm still alive... it'd have to be a family member or someone close to me, because surgery and whatnot. But, I would do it if it could save a life.
     
    I'm not an organ donator yet, but I will be next time I go to the DMV.

    I would never donate while I'm alive. I don't care if it's for something that I don't need at all, the very thought of an organ being removed from me while I'm still alive and being placed in someone else's body freaks me out.
     
    I thought I answered this, but I guess not...

    Anyways, I do plan to be an organ donor but I don't think I'm old enough too yet. I mean, once I'm dead, I might as well be as useful as possible. It's not like I'll miss them, especially since I plan to be cremated. :D

    I'd donate an organ to a loved one, for sure. If some random guy came up to me on the street and was like, "Hey. Hey KID. Wanna give me your organs?:cer_shifty:" I might hesitate. But if it was someone I had just met and I was old and lonely and they needed it, sure, why not?
     
    Well my organs are definitely going to be donated when I'm dead. I have no need for them then, and so why let them rot (or burn, would be more accurate) when they could be used for something?

    As for while I'm living...I don't think I could live with the guilt of not donating an organ I could live without, especially to someone I cared about. A stranger might be questionable, but I think if I knew I could safely give the organ away (without somehow ruining my own life completely) I would probably do it. Physical pain is better than a guilty conscious.

    I think the one thing it might be difficult to convince me to do would be a marrow transplant. I've heard it be described as excruciating. Still, I'd probably end up giving in and doing it after throwing a little fit about it. (crying and panicking. fun stuff.)
     
    I am an organ donor on my ID card. I won't need my organs after my death and I find it pretty selfish to think after death your organs need to die with you. Also I wouldn't hesitate to go through surgery for a family member who needs an organ. It would be worth it.

    As far as strangers...idk. If someone just approached me on the wharfage or someplace and asked me to donate an organ, I'm not really sure what I'd do. I would probably have to know whether or not there is another option, but I would lean towards doing it as long as the surgery isn't overly risky or painful.
     
    If it was gonna kill me, I'd only do it if it was like someone I really loved or something.

    If it wasn't gonna kill me, I'd probably live the rest of my life in pain, XD
