I think organ donation is great. In fact I am signed up to be a donor(against my husbands wishes) If anything happened to me or my kids I would want to donate any needed organs. My dh is very against this for some reason and I would have a hard time convincing him to donate anything from the kids. he has promised me he will follow my wishes with my organs if theres anything left thats any good by the time I kick the bucket.

all that being said I thought this interview was horrible. they kept talking about the dead husband. asking the reciepent strange questions and then it was all just uncomfortable when they brought the widow out. I thought they were kinda rude about the whole ordeal. they kept saying about the dead man, dead mans heart, dead mans wife, and cutting it out of a dead man ect. well its much better to take it from a dead man rather then a live one. the whole interview just rubbed me the wrong way.

definatley could have been handled way better imo.

I thought it was a spoof on TV news/entertainment shows(ONN?). If it was for real then, yeah, bad form.

HAH! That is hilarious. The subtitles or whatever they're called at the bottom are great. "Real life Frankenstein's Monster 'grateful'"

I love the ONN

Organ donation in the US is typically 100% anonymous, when done legally.

For obvious reasons.

Strange video-- definitely onion stuff. :cool:

it depends on the circumstances of the donation. certian organ donations are done with organs of the living.

One of my dear friends in pa has had 2 transplants. first was a liver transplant unknown donor assumably from a dead person although you can get a partial liver section from a living donor and it will regrow.

the second was his kidney. the antirejection drugs he was on from his first transplant killed his kidneys and 5 yrs after the first transplant he got a kidney donation from his ex.(his daughters mom) she is still alive and was a living known donor.

Thanks for the correction, Carrie.

You are, of course, correct. I hadn't considered living organ donations, only those from people declared legally dead.

I personally think the funniest part of this thread is the fact that I had no idea it was a joke lmao.
