We viewed giving blood a a kind of macho thing. The chance to win a keg of beer didn't hurt, either, nor did the homemade chocolate chip cookies that were available after you gave your pint! I still give blood regularly, but it's nowhere near so much fun. |
Re: Organ Donors.
I have just updated my details on the donation register. I have been meaning to do it for some time now.
Thanks for the link. I would still be getting round to it. |

Kate did you press the post button several times to get all those popsts or did you click the back button and post again or did you press refresh a few times. Please PM me with how you did it so as not to be off thread, I am trying to understand how people are getting the double post problem. |
Re: Organ Donors.
I just did the test and they don't want my blood. No not 'cus of any of the sex questions but because I have recently had surgery.

Re: Organ Donors.
They don't want my blood, does that mean no one wants my organ?

Re: Organ Donors.
Any hereditary disease can crop up at any time. They can skip generations affect only males or only females. With some you need a gene that is faulty from both parents to be affected so it can be a lottery the same as life. Its bad enough having these problems but if you have the cash you can have a healthy baby by having it screened before birth. End result that if its not perfect then it can be aborted. Welcome to the age of disease free designer babbies.

Re: Organ Donors.
I was offered screening to see if my first one had any "defects" but when I pointed out that I am opposed to abortion anyway they agreed there wouldn't be much point. It wasn't even mentioned when I had my second. Both are normal healthy teenagers - well as normal as any teenager can be in the eyes of an adult. The one with wavy hair straightens hers and the one with straight hair complains that curls won't stay in!

Re: Organ Donors.
Was there not a case not long ago where due to the need for compatible doner a couple decided to have the "perfect baby" for this very reason??
I am anti abortion and hate it when it is used because the woman did not take any precautions. I know a lady who had 1 too many abortions and now that she is married and wants a family she cant. She would proberly jump at the chance of a transplant. Proberly best to leave the abortion issue for another thread. |
Re: Organ Donors.
I can't remember all the details of that case but I think they wanted to have a baby who would be compatible as a donor. It's difficult to judge on that one, I think I'd probably have wanted another baby in the hope of saving the first one but I wouldn't have chosen to abort if it had turned out to be incompatible.

Re: Organ Donors.
