Something I've wrestled with since I left the organization. Any xdubs out there who are organ donors?

Yes, i'm donating all my organs to all the poor starving maggots that can barely make ends meet in this crazy world. I feel good. Inside.

I carry an organ donor card, but I would rather not part with my heart, liver or kidneys for the time being. I am a blood donor, and I am a registered bone marrow donor. I have not actually donated any bone marrow yet.

I can't give you any advice about how to move this thread to another area..... but, I can tell you that I plan to donate as many of my organs as are useful at the time of my death.
Do you mind if I ask you what it is about organ donation that bothers you so much?? Particularly since the WTS made accepting a donor organ a "conscience matter" back in the early 1980s.... why is it acceptable for a "true Christian" to basically take something, but it isn't acceptable to give of yourself that very same thing that you wouldn't hesitate to take from someone else??
As long as you're healthy and have no conditions that would exclude you as a candidate for organ donation, you should be eligible to donate, if you and your family wish to do so.
Love, Scully

I have it marked on my Drivers Licence that I am willing to be an organ donor in the event of my death. Once I'm dead, I won't need them, so someone else might as well have some use out of them.
As for accepting donor organs (such as in heart or kidney failure) I don't have any qualms about it. I'd be more worried about the side effects of the anti-rejection medication than any so-called morals about accepting other people's organs.

When I was a JW - this is the only organ I would have donated:
When I am gone, they can have whatever I have got they want!
