    This is my back of my mind fear as well. It's probably stupid an unfounded, but I'm AB-positive. If they salivate like they do over my plasma, WTF would they do if they knew going in that my heart was up for grabs?

      Yes. My dad had a liver transplant that had complications but allowed him to live another 2 years. He passed away the morning after his second transplant due to complications.

        I've already donated a kidney to my sister, which has allowed her to live a more full life(and maybe just live, period, as she was headed seriously downhill)for the last 7 years. Not only was it life changing for her, but it changed my perspective on quite a few things. There are always bad apples out there. I look at it as how we make laws that cater to lowest common denominator. Just do what you can to do the right things, and let let nature take care of everything else. I'd be more worried about someone who w=did need it and would appreciate it with a family not getting it, then some asshole not being able to waste it away.

            Yes. When I'm gone If I my parts can help someone else prolong their life so be it. The good Karma can never hurt!
            It happens to be a well thought out and reasoned dissertation on drug use and a lyrical cost/benefit analysis of various kinds of drugs, drawing the conclusion that beer is the best of them all.

              Yes. My dad was a heart recipient, although he died 3 yrs later the donor gave us 3 yrs we didn't have. and he took care of himself and his new heart. Don't think the way you do......just giving the opportunity for someone to live longer justifies being a donor. THanks for being a donor.

                        That's what I'm saying... I plan on using the hell out of this liver and kidney! Thanks to you donors though, because I'm going to need a new liver in a few years!

                          I've got news for you. If you drink to the point of liver failure you won't be getting a transplant. You have to be sober for years before even being considered. A friend of mine died from liver failure. He suffered in the hospital for weeks before he finally let go of life.

                          Yes I'm a donor

                            I became a registered donor when I realized that I have (extended) family members desperately waiting on transplants. The lists are long and there really are not enough organs to go around.

                            At the end of the day you cannot worry about other people not doing the right thing, eg. abusing their new organs. Just concern yourself with your end of the bargain. This holds true for all things in life.

                                I am O negative, so slightly less sought after, but they still want my blood. Glad I am not the only paranoid one.

                                For a family member I would have no problem at all donating. And when I say family, that doesn't automatically include all blood relatives, nor does it exclude non blood.
