I am not allowed to give blood here in Ireland as I am British
to be more specific, lived there between certain dates. They are always moaning about lack of blood doner then they get picky over who may donate.....

I'm not gonna need anything once I'm dead. If any part of my body can be used to give that precious gift of life to another, then they can take what they like. To know that one day, I can give another family a few more years with a sick loved one, is worth every day I spend on this planet

Also had the drugs that make your bone marrow produce cells - drug called GCSF - also hurts like a bitch! lol
Just be glad you were sedated! :smt078

It's not a question of any faith, as I don't have any. I just personally believe that we should go out as we came in, and that extending life through artifical means does more harm than good to our society.

how mad is that! Fortunately I am not as bad as that now, but it still worries me, but to be honest i never thought about organ donation as an alternative to this phobia, got me thinking now:smt017 :smt017 :smt017

A question though for those of you that aren't registered or can't bring yourselves to donate,
Would you decline an organ transplant if you needed one yourself?
