Are you an organ donor?
When I was at the ripe young age of 16 I remember the little box to check to become an organ donor. The option was along with the question to register to vote. I felt as though I was doing the noble and Godly thing by checking the box yes. If it came to the point I could no longer use my organs, it only seemed logical to donate them to someone who could. For the past few years I have had second thoughts and in my doubt I checked “No”. Recently I have seen video after video describing how people feel as though the organ donor status has caused hospital staff to dismiss life saving care. After all, thousands of people are waiting on transplant lists all generating a substantial amount of revenue when organs are received. Each surgery cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Could it be possible that being an organ donor also puts a target on our head? Could hospitals really view certain Individuals as worth more dead than alive? I’m not saying I am 100% convinced. However I have yet to meet a doctor that didn’t try to push medication and possessed any concern for my overall well being. I wouldn’t be surprised to know a doctor allowed a saveable person to perish just to sell their organs. Just like other medications and procedures, I am sure there is some kind of incentive put in place. I think it is wrong that our healthcare system is designed to keep us sick and most of It should be eliminated entirely. Our well being shouldn’t be controlled by greed and manipulation. Doctors should not be offered incentives to push vaccines and medications or penalties if they don’t. I am not saying I am against doctors or the life saving surgeries for organ donors. I am against big pharma and other elite companies profiting off Americans staying sick. Statistically America is one of the richest countries in the world with one of the lowest health ratings. How can that be possible if all these medications and vaccinations are working as they claim? What do you think? Would a doctor really let a person die to profit from their organs?

Perhaps the best solution, in my opinion, would be a clause in the last will, limiting the donation down to cases like ‘died on spot’ or similar. But I’m sure, that exceptions are like cracks in hull – can be used to circumvent even water-tight rules.

We’re for organ donation in Britain — it saves lives, reflects our values, and offers a legacy of hope. Unlike some countries, there’s little risk of it being exploited for profit here, as our NHS doesn’t operate on a for-profit model. It’s about giving, not gaining. You now have to opt out.

If I lived in Britain I could see me choosing to do so. But doctors here don’t mTy have patients’best interest in mind. I have considered moving to another country but don’t know where to begin.

I have another solution for you. You don’t have to check the box you can leave that no but you can make it known to whoever is in charge of your living will or our attorney or whatever person would be called upon to make that decision we’re coming to happen to you that you trust them to do the best for you but if they know that it’s not going to be rescueable time that you want your organs made good use of. It’s true that some organs won’t be able to be used because but it doesn’t even the most with the greatest security I think. At least use it as a starting place for for the refinement. And I appreciate you posing this question and the deep thought you had about both sides of it it’s not a simple answer or solution

Hi Heather! Thanks for the link on my blog today. I feel like there may have been a little Godwink in you liking my blog today because when I popped over to your blog, this is the post that was front and center. I would not have my 16 year old daughter today if not for organ donation. She had a heart transplant as a 5 month old after being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and almost dying multiple times in those short five months. I understand that doctors may not have always handled your health care in the best way possible – our health care system is broken, for sure. But, the organ donation system protects against doctors choosing to not make life-saving decisions by having two different teams of doctors working on donation cases AND the double-check that the person has actually chosen to donate organs is only done once they have been deemed unrecoverable. I do think that organ donation is Godly and noble. There are SO MANY people dying each day waiting for organs to save their lives. My daughter will probably go back on the list at some point because organs only last so long for transplant recipients. I pray that someone will make the decision to be a donor if/when she ends up on the list. I encourage you to talk to both donor families and families who have received donations. I think you will hear God working in their stories. Thanks for starting this conversation and I hope that you are able to find a doctor who truly cares for you and about you.

Thank you for sharing your experience and what a blessing it is that you still have your daughter. I agree that organ donors save many lives every year. It is wonderful that your daughter was on the receiving end of the process and has been able to live a longer life. Modern research and medicine can be extraordinary. However, our medical system is built on greed and lies. Doctor’s receiving bonuses for pushing medications and vaccines. They work with big pharma to distribute drugs that cause harm and hide the truth about them to make as much money as possible. For this reason I have stepped away from Western medicines and procedures. I pray that I am never in your shoes, to have a child who would die without an organ transplant. That situation has to be incredibly scary and would probably feel hopeless. I am happy that God blessed your family and you had access to such procedures. But until the corruption changes and doctors no longer receive incentives to make people sicker, I will urge my family and I not to mark that organ donor box. I understand your reasoning and I can’t say I totally disagree with you. If the health care system and nearly every other organization wasn’t filled with greedy, immoral people, then I would go back to being an organ donor. I have too many experiences of doctors lying, wasting my time, and never looking out for my best interest. My last pregnancy I gave birth at home because of the absurdity of doctors. They tell women today that their babies are too big, their pelvis are too small. Inductions and C sections are the new norm. Not because it’s best but because it can be scheduled. It’s disgusting and shows lack of care and compassion.
Again, thank you for your comment and sharing your experience and I am glad that your daughter is still with us. If she does require another transplant, I pray she receives it promptly. Have a great day and God bless
