I am against donating my organs, you see my belief is that if someone is meant to die from something that thats the wy it should be. Not being horrible or anything, but im fed up of my mates trying to convince me. They say im stingy and that if my little brother need a heart trasplant and you have just recently died wouldnt you give him it! i replied no as if hes meant to die from it he will if hes not a donour will come along.
However, I am not saying that donating orgns should be stopped as, if people want to donate organs its their choice and no-one should stop them. But im fed up of walking around being called mean or stingy because of my choice it makes me feel ashamed but will never make me change my mind.
I also believe say if someone needed a brain transplant, that the person who donates that brain, the person who receives it will think like that person and have the same problems!
thanxs

Interesting. You could use that argument against any form of medical treatment though, not just transplants. If someone has a disease or an accident, we shouldn't treat them, as they are meant to die.?

I used to think that donating your body to science after death is a really good move,but once I saw this programe on the telly,showing how they used dead bodies in a car crash tests ,or stydying decomposition by just leaving a dead body on the sun,and let it rot,in order to find out how long would it take for maggots and ants to clean it up.
I really don't think it has something to do with a human dignity.

Very simple. I am not a resource to be harvested. I find it interesting that they have changed the procedure to call it recovery now. Recovery implies a type of ownership, something that was lost, has now been recovered. My body, just like my money, my house, or any other possesions, is mine to determine with what is done with it once I have passed on. I have no obligation to allow my money, my house, my posessions to be 'recovered' for the benefit of others. Now, if I wish to be altuistic, I can donate as I see fit, but i very much disagree with the attitude that not being an organ doner makes me somehow evil or horrible. My attitude would be that if my immediate family needed an organ at the time of my death, it is theirs. I leave that resource to them. Failing that, I have no duty to provide, nor am I holding back some resource that belongs to the common good.

You're absolutely right. If you wanted to, you could specify that all of your assets were to be converted to paper money, and used to start the blaze that would burn down your house, thus eliminating all benefit anyone else could receive from your estate. Of course, it's a lot more useful to those left behind if you do let them have use of your assets, but it's your choice.
I just wonder what possible good one's organs are to one after one is dead. About as much good as my bank account will be to me after I'm dead, I guess. I would never, never argue that you should be required to donate anything to anyone for any reason. But I sure am puzzled by people with a need to "keep" something of no use to them.

It certainly would be an amazing coincidence if your passing and their need coincided at that exact moment, would it? And yet, how would you feel if your loved one needed an organ while you were still living, but the poor fellow in the next room was not going to recover from his head injuries after a car accident? Perhaps then you'd be hoping the accident victim had a different attitude than you do.

i don't accept it, even if the countries made a strict rules for it, somehow, we'll find gangs, attacking people to use their organ as business without any humanity, a large disorder will exists and the strong will protect him self, and the weak people will lost their lives, may be my sight is black, to look at the bad corner only..
so i do NOT agree with it.

I think people who donate organ and body are very generous. After they have died, they could save a lot of other people. However, I agree with you, there are a lot of businesses without any humanity and a lot of immoral doctors. As you see, it needs a group of doctors to transplant this organ! A lot of doctors forget their Hippocrate's vows, a lot of irresponsible polices and a lot of gangters. It's a horror of cruelty.The government should arrange this disorder and protect the generous act of the donation and have a plan to punish these criminals. It seems there is a relation between developed countries and the developing countries in the field of powerful concept.A developed country is not only rich but also has a great power over the order of its people.People should have the egality no matter they are rich or poor,strong or weak, all of them should be protected.Organ and body donation should be a sacrifice highly appreciated and not a business.

In my case I will not donate my organs, have registered my choice, notified my family, and signed my drivers license as such. One of the previous posts came close to my reason for being against organ donation. More specifically, I would not want my organs going to someone that for genetic or lifestyle reasons they are dying. Genetically, is that if they have a disease or disorder that eventually causes or will cause their death, why should we as a society perpetuate that defect in the gene pool? Same with lifestyle; if someone destroys their liver with alcohol, lungs with smoking, etc. what is the point? Is it a reward because they can afford it? Take the case of Mickey Mantle, he should have never even been put on the list to get a liver transplant. There is no guarantee that these conditions could be met or even considered after my death since the demand for transplant tissues is so great, and the medical profession would only find some way to justify overruling my wishes. No thanks.
