P. S. Talking about morals, tell me why is suicide illegal? We can make it mandatory for people to keep others alive (so they can generate money!) but we can’T take our life with our own hands (because the dead CAN’T GENERATE MONEY!). When did death become such a negative thing? Oh- when the government couldn’t profit from it.

Stupid people play God. Talking about religion yet still taking power that is not yours. People die, it is part of life. What great feat will the majority of recipients contribute anyhow? Watching T.V.?

FYI most major religions agree with organ and tissue donation, they see it as a charitable act of kindess and an act of love. Just some statistics to look at:

one donor can save 50-75 (organ and tissue donors)

92,000 men women and children are on a waiting list for a trans plant

about 18 people die every day from not reciving an organ

and one person is added to the list every thirteen minutes

so how horrible would it be to save someone?
you can still have an open casket
it doesn’t cost money
you are possibly save alot of people
churches agree with it

ORGAN DONING IS COOL

First-in response to post 46- no one can be pronounced brain dead at the scene of an accident- you CAN be pronounced DEAD and in those case tremendous trauma has to have taken place. Brain death at least in California has to be done by different tests inculding CT or Blood flow studies of the brain- at least twice- at least 2 flat EEG’s (electrical brain wave studies) and at least two negative apnea tests ( inability to breath spontaneously off a ventilator plus other physical examination tests by more than one Doctor.
My 5 month old grand daughter was declared brain dead on July 4th this year- just a few days ago…….my daughter made the choice to donate her organs and I support that decision. We were told last night at least 7 babies would now have a chance to live because of that sweet baby. I wish to God the chance could have been hers- but it simply wasn’t. Now she is a hero to so many people and her gifts to others are just begining. I believe in heaven and I know she is there, happy and whole while here her gifts give other parents and grand parents a chance to watch their little ones grow and thrive because of Jalina.
God bless them and above all our sweet angel Jalina.

I am a St.Mary’s student, from Hobart, and I am about to debate negitivly ‘that organ donation should be mandatory’. In this case, it doesn’t matter what I think, but when I reach the right age, I will be a blood and organ donor, because, I feel that if I can help say, 3 other people, then I can say I made a significant difference in this world.

The doctors require your brain to be dead but listen to this, a women was in a car crash and was pronounced her brain to be dead, well her family incisted to wait on the organ transplant and brought her to a hospital where they kept her on life support, and used electrotherapy on her brain, 3 months later she regained consciousness.

i think making donations manditory is a dumb idea because its a free country and it should be your choice 2 do it or not. if u dont want 2 than dont. u should have the choice 2 donate or not, it shouldnt already be made up 4 u. remember, u r the pilot of ure own life. if people spend less time trying 2 pass it as a law, and more time advertizing it and making the public aware of the problem, u would get more doners. duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)(=

Any one who says that mandatory organ donation is crazy. Im 16 and i personally think it has to be a choice. The constitution of the United States gives us the right to life, liberty, and the pusuit of happiness. Most importantly it gives us freedom to chose. Should people donate thier organs? Probably. But by making it mandatory you are going against everything that this country stands for. Organ Donation Groups themselves appose this ridiculous idea. I realize that lives may be saved but you can’t go off that alone. If that were the idea than you could say because people won’t die of lung cancer we should out law smoking or saying because a person kills someone while driving drunk we should outlaw drinking. Maybe we should even ban sex because AIDS kills millions of people a year. You would never consider doing this because the choice of doing all of those things is a freedom. Same goes with organ donation it is a choice and no one has the right to take that away from the individual.

Organ donations, the ying of the yang, the good of the evil or the McDonald fries that taste so good. This debate cannot be resolved with one simple answer, it all depends upon the individual. Organ donations do save lives, no question about it. But many people who apose may have good reasons as to why they are against this topic. I myself will never agree with donating my organs, but would be glad to receive it… As Hobbes said human nature is selfish, nasty brutish and short, and in a way he is right. Look at Western society, what everyone (generally the majority) is to crave for more. Economics is based on maximizing on profits, with giving less in return. Thus, an answer cannot be created. Everyone has his/her own opinion. This debate could go on endless, because, yes everyone has their own beliefs =)

True, the whole ‘mandatory’ and ‘donation’ in the same sentence is quite a contradiction.

However, I believe it is necessary and logical to make such a thing mandatory. Do you really have your ‘its a free country’ rights when your dead?

Making organ donation mandatory is just wrong! Besides that, a donation os something that you give on your own free will, and by making it mandatory it isnt’ even a donation any more, but rather an form of organ tax! I am only 16 years old an have yet not made my desicion on weather I want to donate my organs after I die or not, but I am pretty sure that I will… There are other ways to go than to put in an “organ tax” like to give more education on the topic in public schools and such so make people more aware about the possibilities about organ donation. But to make a law that sayes that other people have the right to YOUR OWN body after you die just makes me sick! Besides that, the number of people donating their organs are growing in this very moment, and in 2004 the number of organ donations were higher than ever before.

So instead of making it mandatory, there should just be spend more resources on making people aware about the options that they have on the topic.

I have been researching organ donation and have discovered that gypsies are the only ones who are adamently opposed to it. All other religions either endorse organ donation or believe it is an individuals choice. If you do become an organ donor you can still have an open casket without any obvious scars, and donating will not delay your wake or funeral. To be an organ donor in the US all you have to do is check the organ donor box when get your license. Otherwise there are many websites from which you can download, print, and sign official organ donor cards. The most important thing is to let your family and friends know that you wish to be an organ donor. These are all facts, so all of you people saying otherwise are just plain wrong and need to do your research. Also, if you do not support organ donation I hope in your time of need you are abandoned by everyone else.

i personally think that organ donations should be at least stated whether or not you want to donate. i think it should be that you cant get your liscense without stating which way you want to go. many people dont even think about it so if it was mandatory to say whether or not you wanted to donate i think more people would say yes than no just because it would be brought upon their attention of how important it is

It’s sad that we even have to talk about making something so obvious and practical “mandatory.” In California you get a sticker on the front of your driver’s license if you are an organ donor. The only one of those stickers I’ve ever seen is on my own license.

I can’t comprehend why anyone wouldn’t be an organ donor. It’s not like you need your inners after your heart stops beating…

Your heart needs to remain beating while they rip organs from your body..so, technically, you are still alive.
