Would you ever donate an organ in order to save other person's life?

So would you

There are lots of people out there who are sick and need a new organ
But there are less each year and people have to find there match.

Is it wrong to ask someone to ask them to donate their organ after they die

And if it was between a friend and family member who would u choose

Yes I would donate an organ to save another person's life. What greater gift could you give to someone than the gift of life.
No it is not wrong to ask someone to donate their organ after death.
If I had to choose between a friend or family member I would want to know who had the more urgent need and also who was more compatable. Then I would make that decision based on those two factors. It would not be an easy decision but decisions concerning life and death never are.
I know it is easy to say I would and quite another to actually do it. We never know how much courage we have until we are tested. I hope that I would have that courage to do something so wonderful.

I give blood regularly and have donated bone marrow samples, too. I would also donate an organ. Although, as Angelic points out, it is one thing to say and quite another to actually go through with it. I would like to think that the experiences i have had donating already, would hold me in stead when it came to something bigger.
I also carry a donor card that states any part of me can be used to help someone else in the event of my death. More importantly, my next of kin know my wishes in this respect so any confusion that might occur in the event of my demise and subsequent chopping up is already settled.
And why am i happy to do this? It's not because of altruism or humanity, i just know that if i ever needed treatment i'd want the spares to be available ASAP. So break me down and put me on the shelf
Hmm... Hope i didn't sound too glib, there!

During my life time it is really difficult for me to give my any organ but after my death if some body wants it than can take because some organs like 1-eyes etc can be used in other human 's which are taken from a dead between 2 hours and by giving my organ during my life really difficult for me but after life!

Well this ties in nicely to this years science coursework.

We had to answer questions all about transplantation; xenotransplantation; the good & bad etc.

So having looked at this in depth; I think that if someone was needy for a donor; i would donate. I'll put a scenario to you, and see what you think.

You may just think it's a complete stranger who needs a donor. But think about it; that person may be a parent; a husband or wife; a brother or sister; a best friend; a family member; a hero, whatever. Are you going to break many peoples hearts because of a stubborn way in which you say NO to it? I think not.

That may be your parents; your partner; your brother or sister; your best friend; your family members or your hero that needs it. You will then wish for someone to donate it for them.

Oh hell I just sold my kidney yesterday to buy some cigaretts

Just kidding y'all...yes...I gues anyone would donate theyr organs for a good cause,live or dead,I know I would donate for someone who still has a chance,as a matter a fact,I think they should realy have a hour at biology in schools & talk about this stuff cose it's preety serios so just like you donate blood,as long as you'r still alive aftert the operation,then you can donate organs as well
