4. What the … I can’t read the text nor clearly see the video. There’s water flowing dawn the screen or some other cause making it watery looking. High emotional moment for sure.

5. One is dead and 1 lives because of another. That’s the gift.

6. Organ donation is creepy. I would never allow a loved one’s body to be parted out like a stolen Honda Civic.

8. It is not creepy — it is the gift of Life, the best there is.
   God only can give Life, and we are His instruments. (to further Life)

   I have three siblings who have lived years longer than they would have because of living donor organ transplants (from two of our other siblings and a nephew). I’m on the kidney transplant list and spend 8.5 hours a night–every night–hooked up to a peritoneal dialysis machine. These gifts allow us to raise our children and spoil our grandchildren, and there are many ways to describe such a gift: generous, loving, selfless come to mind, but “creepy”?

   May you never need an organ to live and find out you’re surrounded by people like yourself.

    I have dealt with the organ procuring ghouls on 3 occasions upon the death of relatives.The ghouls were pushy, intrusive and obnoxiously insensitive, inserting themselves into the situation even after having been told no and in one instance the mother of a relative was approached by the ghouls before the hospital had a chance to notify her of her son’s death.
    I will never be a donor nor consent on the behalf of a next of kin. I would never receive a transplant because the whole notion skeeves me out.

11. Some people see it as a way to provide some meaning and comfort to the death of a loved one, allowing part of them to live on through helping someone else stay alive. Again, I hope no one in your family ever needs an organ to live, because apparently you would be less skeeved out by watching them die than by agreeing to a life-saving procedure. To each his own, I guess.

12. I also hope no one in my family ever needs an organ to live. It would be quite a situation to be in: hoping that someone dies so that someone I love might live.
