Organ donation is it safe?

I know this comes from extreme grief, as my nephew was seriously beaten by bikers 2 days ago, and they are pulling the plug in a few hours.

The reason I'm writing this, is because I had told my sister that I'm praying he wasn't an organ doner, because being an adult male in the prime of life, and unvaccinated, he is worth more dead than alive. My niece, his twin had already signed for organ donation. He started opening his eyes, tightening his grip, one side of his face was paralyzed, but the CT scan didn't show a reason for it. Then suddenly we are told he took a turn for the worse and is now brain dead.

I fell to my knees screaming no no no he was murdered by the Dr for his organs. When I composed myself I messaged my sister with the news, at that minute my autistic grandson,s bus pulled up, so I left the tablet on the bed, and ran out to get him. When I returned, the words "Thanks for saying that" were written. I messaged my sister, with "your not going to believe what just happened", and told her about it. And that message repeated itself, it is written 2 x.

So I think I'm trying to say, make sure to make it clear to your loved ones where you stand on organ donation. And make your decision wisely, your life might depend on it.

This is horrid, but it brings up a lot of questions that others might know more than I do. I can talk all day about the illegal Black-market of Organ Trading, but as for if legal organ donors get less treatment in the public hospital is something that should be dug into.

The benefits outweigh the risks: save 5-7 lives. Worth it.

Organ donation is about as honorable a thing to do as it gets.

And may well save another poor sod's life.

So sorry to hear about your nephew all the same.

I just lost my Dad in September.

Dead peoples organs are useless,they have to take them when they are still alive,hence why they take the heart last.
Brain dead is code for still harvestable.
Disgusting ghoulish pieces of dirt.

it's about as safe as it can be considering what it is. your only putting somebodies else's bits in. survival rating is fairly good.

me i'm taking everything i came into the world with, maybe even somethings i didn't come in with. beside by the time i'm done with them they'll be all wore out.

So sorry to hear of your situation.
I've seen the receiving end of the donation process at first hand and its the greatest gift anyone can give.
Here in Wales, everyone is opted in to donate. You have to express your wish not to.
I was never really sold on it but given my recent experience I'm 100% for donation.

My little brother received a new heart about 12 years back now and still going strong.

Without organ donation and transplant he would have died down to a congenital birth defect in his original heart which lead him to have a stroke at the age of 17 and then failing at around the age of 30.

God bless the poor people who choose to donate their organs because without such the world would be a far worse-off place to exist.

To each their own on this one.

But I do not plan on having the immediate need for my organs to be involved in a decision of letting me die or not as was the case of my mother.

They could not wait to unplug her to get those organs and they put massive pressure on my family before I could get there.

Parasites.

My stepson was killed in a motorcycle crash when he was 19 a few years back.

His heart went to a lad his age with a condition that meant he had less than a few years to live, his liver went to someone as well.

We had visits from some of them and they've been to visit his grave.

Can't take that stuff with you when you go.

a reply to: nonspecific

Sorry to hear that nonspecific.

Such a young age as well.

Canny take it with you indeed, and if it can be put to good use, and save lives, then so be it.

Seems rather wasteful not to harvest perfectly good organs given the chance at life they may give someone else.

So sorry about your loss. My son is waiting for a kidney transplant as I am too old to donate.

BUT, here's a very, very serious question that must be faced, especially as the majority on ATS are against the vaccine. The question:- If you or one of your loved ones were dying and a transplant would likely save them, would you accept a donation that's from a donor who has been vaccinated?

a reply to: crayzeed

If there was another unvaccinated kidney, I would choose the unvaccinated. But if my life or my child's life depended on it, I would gratefully take it over death. I'm not against organ transplants, I just worry that China isn't the only country that has drs that would do anything for profit. Or decide saving 5 lives at the cost of losing one is justifiable. I'm dazed with grief, and looking for who to blame. And I don't trust doctors or big pharma.

As a diabetic I don't think they would want my organs. But I could be wrong if someone was desperate enough.

Though one thing I would be careful of is those DNA and ancestor registries. A rich desperate person could go to a unethical doctor and the doc could come up with a list of compatible "donors" quite easily. Then a hit squad goes out and one of those "donors" just vanishes. And a thousand miles away a Rockefeller gets a donor organ.

That doesn't make me feel better, at all.

Atleast 5 of that seven destroyed that organ they need with bad habits and vices they aren't going to quit and are just going to destroy the organ they killed you to harvest and die anyway.

The win is the healthy person living, I promise you this.

Ever been in the midnights in a pediatric burn trauma unit when they change kids bandages? Screaming....Horrifying. Every night. So that did it for me.


The bodys largest organ is.....the SKIN. So there you go. All things needed.

There are indeed Cymru.

God bless our NHS, and the people who contribute to, and perform the much-needed organ transplants that so many of us could not live without.

As the world would be a far worse-off place to exist without such a service.
