This is a site dedicated to the support for people who have had or who are in need of a life saving transplant. But anyone can help support. Being the older sister of a recipient child I know how hard it is to see a loved one withering away to nothing. It's just plain horrible. No one should have to go through it.
When my brother was just 7 months old he had to have a liver transplant. My mother, a living donor, gave my brother 30% of her liver, and that 30% grew back in her, and what she gave to my brother has grown to be a fully developed, whole liver for him. He was just about a week away from dying, and if it wasn't for being able to do organ donation and organ transplantation I wouldn't have a little brother, and I wouldn't be able to watch him grow up to be the handsome young child he has become now. When he was going through this whole thing, it really opened my eyes tohow the world really is. It made me realize we need to live for the moment and never hold anything back.
This is just my families story, there are plenty of others who have had the same thing, if not worse, happen to them. The worst part is, not everyone makes it. An average of 18 people die each day from the lack of available organs for transplant. Organ transplantation is the best thing that has ever happened to a lot of people, maybe you should think about what you want, do you want to be remembered and praised when you pass away as a savior of someone else. As the quote goes: "Dont take your organs to Heaven, Heaven knows we need them here."
If you do decide to be a savior and donate your organs, make sure you talk to your family about your decision because when you do pass away, your family gets the final say, and if they dont know you want to donate, and they say no, thats it. So make sure you talk to your family about it and get the back of your license signed.
I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could message me or comment me and tell me your own opinions about organ donation. Do you think it's right? Do you think it's wrong? WHY? Please give me your opinions!!!
