Earlier today, during lunch with the family, I discussed the benefit of being an organ donor with my family. While it’s something frightening to think about, we decided that being able to make a difference in someone else’ life makes it a worthy decision.

At first my hubby was upset by this. He always had the assumption that if you were a donor then the medical staff didn’t do their best to keep you alive because organs are aways needed.

I’ve filled him in on why that’s the dumbest thing to think about. Of course they’ll do everything they can to save you! It’s their job!

So, yes, we’ve had this discussion in our home. :)

I’ve talked to this with my parents before. A couple of weeks ago, my great aunt died from cancer. My dad and mom got tested for bone marrow, but unfortunately they were not a match. On the subject of that, we talked about kidney and organ transplants. I don’t drive yet, but when I do start I would love to be a donor.

Even before seeing this post, I’ve thought about being a donor for a long time. My parents told me that they are going to be donors too. If I can help save a person’s life by donating something I don’t need, I would totally do it.

I’d love to help people anyway I can. I remember my fiance and I had a discussion about it when he got his license and we both agree that there’s no question as to us being donors.

I also lost a friend waiting for a heart transplant. I’m glad that you’re going to research your choice. Feel free to check out the links in this post for some sites with more info.

Thanks for posting.

How crazy is it that we can donate a kidney? I have a few kidney donor and recipient friends, too, and it’s just incredible. Glad your mom got her transplant – probably around the time my brother did! Thanks for posting!

And yeah, little brothers v. swimming pools… it was a tough call! :-)
