does anyone else feel bad that they can’t donate their organs?

[Andromeda77]

I work in a hospital, so many the thought of people dying waiting for transplants is heavier on my mind. But it's all so crazy.

I've been an organ donor as soon as I got my license. It's actually against the religion I was born into, and my parents freaked out and all my siblings told me that if I was ever in a crisis that docs weren't going to try too hard to save me because of it. I'm realizing now I was kinda hoping that was the case. But I'm a young, very healthy adult woman. I've got so many good parts it makes me sad that I'm getting ready to exit when I've met so many hopeful people so close to death.

Like, I'm here in my room doing chemistry, surrounded by test strips and bowls and scales, tryna figure out what a gram looks like. Why does dying have to be so difficult for everyone who wants to? Sheesh

That's why i wish assisted suicide in hospital was a thing, i'd say take it all..

I'm going to donate blood, looking into it as despite my hate of this species, I'll still help those that have a craving for life.

Hopefully the taboo is removed in the future. It would be so much more humane all around

I am a living donor, so if someone requires my kidney, they'll get it, if I'm still alive.

Scotland has an 'opt-out' policy, so if any of my organs are harvestable when I'm dead, they're welcome to them.

If I had more time I'd donate my one of my kidneys. That's super kind of you

I only did it because a close family member of mine received a kidney. The change in their quality of life was astonishing. They couldn't even leave the house, so ended up having a dialysis machine installed in their home.

To go from being housebound, to being able to enjoy life with their family, travel, get a job etc., was a complete 180.

The kidney is starting to fail again, but its been almost 15 years and time well spent.

I just wish I could say take my blood take my organs I'm done using them, give them to someone who needs them. Instead we have uncomfortable death and not much hope of being able to help people in one last way.

I would really like to find kind people who need organs because they want to live. I would ask the doctors to give my healthy organs to these people while I was under anesthesia, and after the operation, the doctors would just put me into an eternal sleep without pain. It's a pity that this is not possible.
Although I have not found meaning in the human mind and in this cruel world, but there are still people who want to live in this world. The main thing is that these people remain kind and capable of empathy

 

[Charlie-Bravo]

Yea, why can we not just go to a hospital, fill out a small form, and get put to sleep peacefully by experts. For exchange(cost, etc.) they can literary have anything from my body, don't need it anymore.

And they also could help you dealing with your SI: When I had my surgery, they gave me something to calm my nerves right before surgery. I remember not giving a shit about anything, pretty awesome feeling.

 

[letmegetout]

Absolutely, it's partly why I'm trying to find the 'ideal' method what ever that means, to have no coming back from it, a certain death, but time for family to say goodbye and organ donation. But it's not certain, nothing is, and the methods that make these things more likely (which would ultimately be life support) would be insulin OD or OD of some sort, hanging etc, and yet any time you are on life support there is a chance of you surviving and being in a worse position needing 24 hour care for the rest of your life

This would be a dream, honestly. People are there willingly, and all those people in need of organ donations can do so and continue on with life. I've met so many good people at my job that it makes me upset that this can't be an option.

 

[lachrymost]

This is so frustrating. There are so many circumstances where people are lauded for risking or exchanging their life for another, but not this one.

 

[enough of this]

At this point, I don't think mine are worth donating. Why should I pass on my physical problems to someone else?

 

[inevitable31]

I plan to have my organ donor card with me. I have read a paper that someone changed their mind called the ambulance and after being in the ICU for some days, they were able to donate their liver (?) after some process.
So just in case I become brain dead and can be some use of some of my organs.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

No, I don't feel bad over that. I don't care whether my organs get donated or not

 

[sserafim]

No because I don't want to donate my organs
