I had a kidney transplant about 9 months ago. I looked up at the clock in the operating room at about 9 a.m., they said they were going to start... Then I became aware of a pain in my side and saw a clock in a different room that said about 1 o'clock.  I only knew they had done the surgery because of the pain and the clock. It was not like sleeping. I was not aware at all during the time I was "out". It was just a total blank. When I'm asleep, I still have some awareness of time passing, I think, but not so when I was under anesthesia.\nOne of the nurses in the recovery room asked my aunt who gave me the kidney, "Who did you give your kidney to?" My aunt was still pretty out of it, but she obviously didn't remember anything either -- she said, "I haven't given it to her yet."  :-)\n\nP.S. The pain upon "coming to" was not too bad. They have lots of good meds to help with the pain.

I find nothing in the Bible that would prevent you from being an organ donor, and if your family agrees with your decision, then I would encourage you to do so.\n\nIn fact, doing this could be an important way to help someone facing a serious medical condition. Although you would never meet that person in this life, think of what your donation could mean to them. At least it could give that person a better quality of life—and in some instances could even mean the difference between life and death. The Bible says, "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people" (Galatians 6:10).\n\nYour question, however, touches on another issue that concerns me greatly—and that is the number of people who are killed or seriously injured in traffic accidents. One reason you were asked to indicate on your driver's license if you were willing to be an organ donor is because tens of thousands of people die on our roads every year—and you could be one of them. Ask God, therefore, to make you a better driver. This is just as much a God-given responsibility as any other.\n\nAbove all, remember that organ transplants may delay death for a time—but Christ offers us "an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you" (1 Peter 1:4). Is your faith and hope in Him? \n  The Bible does not give specific directions for the disposal of the body following death. Bible-era practices are described in Unger's Bible Dictionary as follows: "Interment in Bible times followed soon after death, as is evident in the narratives of the burial of Sarah (Genesis 23:1-20), Rachel (Genesis 35:19-20), and Rebekah's nurse (Genesis 35:8). The Hebrews did not normally cremate, except in most unusual cases of emergency, as in the case of Saul and his sons (1 Samuel 31:11-13). Later Babylonians burned their dead and deposited their ashes in ornate funerary urns, as did Greeks and Romans. Hebrews in later time, indicated by the numerous ossuaries found in New Testament Palestine, also practiced cremation." \n\nChristians will want to show respect for the body. Even though the essential person or spirit has moved on to an eternal destiny, the body is the tangible reminder of all that person meant to us. In addition, the body is destined for resurrection, transformation, and reunion with the spirit at Christ's return. Whether burial or cremation best expresses that appropriate respect is a very personal decision. The wishes of other close family members and friends should also be considered in any decision because they are the ones who will live with the decision and with the memories.\n\nAt the resurrection it will not make any difference whether a person's body has been buried or cremated. God knows how to raise the body, either in the resurrection of life or the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:28-29). The new body of a Christian will be a radically changed and glorified body like the body of the exalted Christ. It will be an eternal, spiritual body never again to experience weakness, disease, suffering, or death (1 Corinthians 15:35-54 and Philippians 3:20-21).

There already is a market for body parts and the usual "organ grinders" unfortinatly few enforcement agentcys moniter these activities as many "Organ Procurement Agentcies" travel overseas and purchase parts from third world countries for low prices (approx $250.00usd for a kidney) and then resell them for prices in the thousands. It is a highly illegal and lucrative trade.\n\nTo legalize this is not a great idea as it would turn into a pricing war and with the illegal market already obtaining organs at low prices overseas the money to be made for people selling would be minimum at best.

in the us of a, and any other western civilized country, it is illegal to sell or purchase any type of organs. when selling it illegaly, which i would not recommend at all, you will not get the money you need anyway, because the people conducting the surgeries are the one's who make the buck. not you.\nan other problem will be, that you have just one kidney left, that can cause trouble too, because now, one organ has to do the work of 2. most of the time it does work, but it's not guranteed. when donating a kidney once you are still alive, you have to be adonor doing it WITHOUT any money background. after your death, over 50 organ/organ parts can be used to help the same amount of people, but your family will not receive any money either . thats why this is called 'organ donation'. \nplease do not consider that as an option. good luck with solving your problems in a different way, i dont think selling your organs will help you and your problems on the long run.\n\ngood luck

My first suggestion is to talk to a lawyer, the procedure varies from state to state so go to your state website for their court of appeals and look there first. again you Should contact a criminal lawyer in your state. They will be very familiar with the procedure.

Ok, I've had to write a similar paper about a zillion times in college, so here's some advice: Write on the positive and negative outcomes it could have such as organ transplant and the possiblity of people trying to sell their own organs for $$$, and how there could be a large black market of organs for sale. This will make a rise in the homocide rate (people killing other people to steal their organs) and because there has not been a lot done w/ stem cell organs, they do not know the longivity of them. Most religious people are aganist it because they think that it will increase abortion. I don't know....Good luck!

Of course NOT. Some answerers above answered "we can do whatever we want to ourselves" but that's WRONG. You can take drug if you want? No you cannot. There is such a thing called SOCIETAL IMPACT. In economics we call it Negative Externality. Some answerers above gave a good answer by saying that allowing people to sell their organ will lead to more crime, whether it's people "robbing" someone's organ, or corporate crime whereby companies exert their influence to manipulate the organ transplant process to maximize their monetary profits.\n\nI hope stem cell research can take off soon -- THAT is the hope in the medical community.

it all depends on your state medical criteria...and what kind of health you are in at the time donation is needed...if you have multiple medical problems that effect the organs then more than likely they wont use anything from you...most states have a transplant office...try contacting them to find out exactly what you need to know...I know here in Maryland its called the Transplant Recovery Center....oh and for the kid up above me that gave you a BS answer...diabetes ISN'T contagious

Right. I mean, if we can grow organs in a lab than maybe not as many people will die while they are on organ transplant waiting lists. Of course with every step for man kind comes an inherent evil as well. We could start growing humans and using them as slaves... that would be wrong, but growing organs to save lives... THAT'S A MIRACLE! Embrace it.

If your question is serious, the serious answer is it's illegal to do what you're suggesting. The National Organ Transplant Act (Public Law 98-507) makes it ILLEGAL to sell human organs and tissues. But you can donate.

Do you really trust that it won't be abused?  Organ harvesting is a big money business.  All a Dr. would have to say is "He/she asked me to."  In China, the condemn thousands of people to death each week, just to harvest and sell their organs.  Think about that.  Or, watch "Solent Green."

You need to talk to your physician about that.  Transplant patients are all different and needs individual assesment.

Different states have different laws on this issue.  Your remains will be cremated after they are used as teaching tools for up and coming doctors.  It's fascinating!  The people I have known who did donate themselves were very sick; many surgeries and disease processes that will educate others.  It doesn't cost anything where we live and they come to get the body once that person has passed on.  They are very respectful.  Most folks have a memorial ceremony because they really don't have a time schedule on the use of the cadavar.  You can call the state you're in to find out more; or even call a hospice facility about body donation and they give you more detailed information.  Godloveya.

Part of me thinks it is acceptable with the alcoholics/smokers thing because if I donated my organs I'd want them to go to someone who would deserve & appreciate them not just use them to be able to cause a bit more damage to themselves.\n\nI'd draw the line at the white,black,chinese,muslim bit because at the end of the day as long as that person isn't going to abuse that organ again we're all just people wanting to get better,it doesn't matter what race or religion we are.
