I was an organ donar, but after I was diagnoised with Diabetes I had to cancel it. Unfortunately, my organs wouldn't be useable.

garysgal ... I'm a diabetic too ... but I think they can use skin for burn victims ... not sure tho ... check with a local organization if you have one ...

I'm too sick but I also try to remember that people have the right to *not* be a donor. Whatever your decision is, put it in your trust!

Me too.

I will-thanks for the tip. My dr. told me I couldn't donate, but she didn't mention skin.

I am too, but I have heard (don't know if it is true) that if you are that they do not try as hard to save you if you are dying.

That's not true at all, being a paramedic for 8 yrs we work equally hard on everyone. I myself am an organ donor, but unfortunately your next of kin gets to make the ultimate decision. So if you do want your organs donated, make sure your family understands this so that they make sure it happens.

I haven't donated anything yet, but it has been on my drivers liscense for years now. Not sure they are any good parts of me left , but they can take whatever they find.
I am going to get a new Glorified Body once I leave this place.

I have signed up over 20 years and counting. I worked with the team that came to our hospital to collect organs from a donor. Awesome group of people. the donors and their families and the team that makes it all happen in the end. :thumbup:

I am an organ donor, so are both of my kids.
