You can go ahead and donate one of your kidneys. You only need one to live.

Organ donation is a good thing! It saved my friends life a few years ago! I also think we need to give blood and bone marrow as well! It is such an easy thing to do to save a life!

No, I haven't, but plenty of Republicans are losing their spleens right now over tax and budget news at LJW, this forum. If I find any filet mignon-fed organs laying around….hahahaha…..they're anybody's.

Autie is a fellow John Prine fan! At least we agree on that one thing.

I don't trust people enough to check the box. There's a huge black market in organs and it'd be my luck that someone would harvest me early.

Hey..I have quoted him more than once in comments..John Prine songs are like episodes of Andy G. A message for just about any occassion. Send my mouth way down south and kiss my a** goodbye.

Well now, Lawrence EMTs are second to none. Who better than them to leave your stuff with?

We have had many who wished to donate, but none of the many deaths have been under the circumstances that organs would be suitable.
So I wouldn't worry too much about actually being a donor.
Go ahead as sign up, just in case, but like having a heart attack, getting CPR and surviving…well the odds just aren't that great for anyone.

But, if you can save lives with stuff you're not using any longer, isn't it the “Christian ” thing to let others have them?
And, yes, I'm signed up. My brother is an organ recipient and I've been the nurse in the room for multiple organ transplants and harvests.
