Human organs donations for transplantes

[Arcadia]

how it works in your place?

[judih]

We sign a form permitting our organs to be used upon our death. We carry around the official card, and when we die, such a card gives the go-ahead.

I don't know what happens past that.
How is it in your country, arcadia?

[Arcadia]

It was that way too. Now it seems is about to turn to presunto donante. The state will presume that you want to donate until you formally don´t say the contrary.

here they just find you in a bathtub full of ice with your kidney gone.

[surfermike]

in these parts it's when you renew
your driving liscence. If you fail the
eye exam of course the government
is not interested in popping them out.

Well....they can have my heart.....it's absolutely useless!!!!!! ....well, except for the keeping me alive and kicking thingy....aside from that tho..."take it"...."take another little piece of my heart why don't you".....oops, wrong thread....I'm coming Janis.

Anyway, I don't know if I like the notion of donating bits of me....it doesn't sit well. My card is unsigned till I make up my mind....rightly or wrongly.

We got the option when we renew our driver's license. But I been thinking about calling the UT med school to see if they will take what is left of me for their students to slice on. All I ask is for a free trip to the graveyard. Don't want to burden Homeboy with the expense.


Please Don't Bury Me

Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:

Chorus:
Please don’t bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I’d druther have em cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don’t mind the size
Give my stomach to milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get em out of here
Venus de milo can have my arms
Look out! I’ve got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to rose

Repeat chorus

Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don’t pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It’s a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye
