Sorry although the idea of helping others in need is brilliant, the very idea of being cut up etc shits me up don't even want to think about dying 

Been there, done that......   

Wanna T shirt??      

Yours wont fit me, I have a lot of growing to fit into it

Don't believe in in swapping body parts.  I don't want any bits of me used in someone else, and I don't want any bits of someone else used in me.  Might accept a blood transfusion, reluctantly.

No funeral, either.  After I've finished with it, I'm quite happy for the inert bits of my corpse to be used for medical research as long as they don't try to get them working again.  But it's actually quite complicated trying to arange for this - lot of paperwork involved, and I get the distinct impression that the hospitals don't really want to bother.  They haven't really got a lot of use for old body parts.

Did you know that Anatomy is no longer a part of the BM/BCh degree that most doctors take?  Medical students no longer dissect cadavers as part of their training until they start postgraduate studies in surgery, and not always then.

Anyway, any bits of me left over after the NHS has taken what it wants should be put out for the bin men on a Friday.   Provided, of course, it's rubbish and not recycling that week.

We gave blood as a team. We all had the afternoon off to donate. Being blokes we made it a race with beer for the winner, the nurses had never seen so many ways of trying to get the bag filled quickly. They were not keen on timing us but as we brought nearly 20 people they relented, dont try drinking your winnings the same day though, its like being 14 again.
Quickly became a regular thing in the company.
Shame that now I am in the forces I can't donate now due to my area of operations and variety of jabs.
Big up to all who do donate though, share the wealth.

I lost my cousin just over 12 months ago to a sudden brain hemorrhage, he was just 31 years old, fighting fit and had everything to live for.

His parents agreed to have his organs donated (he would have wanted it to) and we know he helped 7 people live.....and have letters from some of them.

Its very heart warming to know that others benefited from our loss.

Hence I am and always will be on the donor register.

i'm not allowed to either donate blood or organs-i was in hospital a few years ago and had a blood transfusion and i now have an increased risk of developing CJD ! nice 

I gave blood up until a few years ago when i was told they don't want my blood anymore as i had a blood transfusion in 1982 and a number of ops up to 1995...would that include organs too?  :-/
