The detailed brain death evaluation protocol that follows is intended as a useful tool for clinicians. It must be emphasized that this guidance is opinion-based. Alternative protocols may be equally informative."
Death, dying and donation: organ transplantation and the diagnosis of death
jme.bmj.com/con...
"In this paper we propose that the Australian community may, for good reason, distrust the concept of and criteria for 'whole brain death', and the equation of this new concept with death of the human being. We suggest that irreversible loss of circulation should be reinstated as the major defining characteristic of death, but that brain-dead, heart-beating entities remain suitable organ donors despite being alive by this criterion."

My son's organ donation recovery helped 8 people on August 12 2017. I miss my baby boy everyday! R.I.P Gage! I haven't taken my bracelet off once and I hang the paperwork in a frame the same as honoring a HERO. My lil boys heartbeats on!!!!
LISA JACKSON bless you and your son.
Christmas was so hard today without him. Lil brother Jimmy cried when he realized his biggest gift request was for his brother Gage to come home. My heart is breaking but I hope where ever my son gage heart is beating it has joy in it to be with that family it saved
LISA JACKSON That is a beautiful story. I hope you are doing well. You and your boy are heroes.
Thank you so much for your sons donation. Your baby is saving a life, something not every person gets to do. I hope only for the best for your family in this time of healing
LISA JACKSON thats means hes still here and his good genes from those organs should pass down through their family 👍👍 im not a doctor though
i am a donor, but some familiy members are not happy with that descsion. I always state well if i am in need of a organ to be donated to be me, i wished other people donate them so i should do the same.
don't they through out your organs anyway....if you're not a donor then they go to waste
atHOEist I don't think they do that in most cases now, but I don't work in a morgue so idk
ShinTsu ur family should respect ur wishes on this if u wanna do it that's ur business and not theirs
Scott Raisch woah tf calm down.....yes they go to waste....if they are just being thrown out then no one will benefit from them and all the lives that could've been saved, won't be....if they are donated then they won't "go to waste"
Scott Raisch lol chill fam....i think you're the only one who took it that way....no I'm making it sound as if its selfish to not donate your organs and put them to good use after your gone....its not a cash crop, its something that lives depend on
My friend passed away on Wednesday. They were able to donate all of her organs, tissues, and eyes. She became a hero to those transplant recipients even though she will never know their names. We love you Tanya. ❤
I don’t mean any disrespect, just trying to understand the process. If you donate your organs, can you still be buried or cremated?
Yes ofocarse, you can still have a funeral and burial/cremation as normal ❤@matthewgreener7069
@@matthewgreener7069 as in the video, they will return the body to their family after the process.
I have no objections whatsoever in donating my organs after i am brain dead. Saving lives, what a way to go out.
i did for that reason plus you get a free cremation so burial is much cheaper for the family
Hell yeah. I get to be a super hero in death, saving lives from beyond the grave.
maybe after watching this, you won't be so sure ua-cam.com/video/EZVo5O0W7VE/v-deo.html
It must be a comfort to tbe bereaved family to know their Loved is helping others.
I signed up for organ donation the second I turned 18. You can actually save several lives after you're dead yourself. I think it's so important.
you can't be scared when you're dead
I get that it seems scary but you're dead... you're gone but your body is still there and can still save people.
did u sign up online? cause thats what i did just checking if i did it right :)
enjoyce you are a brave n kind soul.....
Angie1209 proud to have people like u in our world
The title is wrong, you are not actually talking about what happen to your body when you donate, but how organ donation works and why you should sign up.
This video is also very misleading. Lots of inaccurate and missing information.
I absolutely agree!
HELL NO
This guys info shows brain death
Yup.
I signed up as an organ donor as soon as I could, against my parents' wishes. It seemed like an easy decision to me. More important than family politics. A decade later my aunt needed a double lung transplant, which extended her life almost 10 years and allowed her to live to see her kids graduate and meet her first grandchild. And on top of it my mother and uncle found out they have the same genetic condition, though so far they haven't needed transplants. Suddenly I didn't get as much opposition on my decision. Imagine that.
Best decision you could have made! Thx in the name of those whom you might have saved by it!
I wonder when the US will adapt the opt-out rule.
Karma is a bitch indeed.
Be proud of yourself my brother, someone donate his liver to me, and gifted me HOPE.
hell i became an organ donor just for the simple fact that once im dead i wouldn't need it...
If I were you I would change that immediately
I don't mind donating organs if I'm for sure, 100% proven dead, don't want to wake up missing my liver
You won't wake up if you're missing your liver. :)
ZeVio74 ok so sign up for organ donation.
since that doesn't happen
Without the liver, you'd die anyway before waking up. Blood sugar levels go high (due to no insulin which is made in the liver) and food can't be processed (gives you the energy which you need to live).
Insulin is made in the pancreas ;) But most of protein synthesis is done in the liver so you basically die quite rapidly from complete and rapid metabolic disintegration without your liver.
There are cases of that happening for sure.
For many years I hesitated when it came to becoming an organ donor; no idea why, I just never bothered to sign up. Then at Christmas, my mum was told she'll likely need a liver transplant. After we got home from the hospital, I signed up to be one right away. I think it took the reality of someone I know needing a transplant to make me realize that it's super important to become a donor and I encourage everyone to make the same decision.
So basically it didn't matter to you because you didn't give a shit about anyone else. But when your mummy needed one, it mattered? I'll keep my organs.
Like I said, I hadn't really thought about it before and it wasn't something people were encouraging me to do. It took the reality of someone I know needing one to realize "shit, it's actually really important to become a donor."
Good job for registering! I have had a liver transplant, my life has been extended 8 years so far :), I've got to travel all around Europe and still achieving so much, all thanks to my donor. Best wishes to your mum!
@Rusbel Martinez you need to go back to school and learn how to make some sense.. and maybe some respect too. Let's hope you don't end up in a position where you need a donated liver, I don't think you'd be so cruel if you were on the other end of this. I've felt that pain myself, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Jenny Reed , were you aware that you can be a living donor of a portion of your liver?? What you donate to your mother will grow to be of sufficient size, and your liver will regenerate back to its normal size. So, everyone in your family should be tested to see if they are matches so that when your mother does finally need a liver, the hardest part is out of the way. In spite of the trolls on here, I hope your mom never needs a transplant and live a long and healthy life.
In Singapore, we have an opt-out system instead of an opt-in one. Meaning, if you are a citizen over the age of 21, you are automatically an organ donor unless you opt-out. If you op-out, though, you will be placed on the bottom of the wait list should you ever require a donation in the future. Your family, of course, can choose to refuse your organs being donated after you become deceased. I think it's a very fair and smart system. There is choice, but it also helps society as a whole.
Stephanie's Musings is there even a list
that's amazing. i wish we did that.
Proving again that singapore is kinda awesome 😁
that's an excellent system
Here in india and africa if you need an organ just go to one of the many slave auctions in our no go zones and just pay with a high value currency and we will give you organs you need fresh from the body.
I know its a horrible joke but its a real issue that everybody likes to ignore.
I'm so thankful to people who donate. I've had two transplants. My mom gave me her kidney and a young boy gave me his cornea. Thank you to all the families who made this possible. I wouldn't be here if no one donated their organs
Cyrena Eidsath hello?
Hi
I'm sure you would've still been here. You have a number, only when your number comes up then you die. You might have gotten organs but that doesn't mean it kept you alive.
@@cyrenaeidsath762 how can someone donate their cornea
ua-cam.com/video/EZVo5O0W7VE/v-deo.html
Isn't It strange to think the rest of the body is dead and rotting, but the donated organs are still well and in use.
You are not dead when they take out your organs, you are still alive, but you brain is damaged NOT exactly dead like they say. Read this article about the "brain dead myth" www.lifesitenews.com/news/neurologist-exposes-brain-death-myth-behind-multi-billion-dollar-organ-transplant-industry
I’m high asf and u just blew my mind
@@krisavapine wow.
@@krisavapine yeah, I'm not surprised a news site that favours an evangelical Christian view would be looking for any excuse.
It's not that complex. Think your body is like a car and your brain is the engine. If the engine break, car doesn't start. Since your engine can't replace in this scenario, your car is dead. But still, you can salvage other car parts like batteries, tiers, seats, etc. They don't just break since the engine was broken.
95% support it but less than half are donors. Why? Because, like in everything else, people want all the benefits of something without contributing anything themselves.
Dark I'm not even going to tackle that because it still fits well with my point. Many people don't wanna be 'butchered and sold' but are more than happy to accept another's misfortune
Dark I think there's a law passed that makes organ markets illegal (in the US ofc). this also prohibits hospitals paying to get foreign organs, I think
I think the wast majority of those who don't sign up or just lazy/postponing, and that's the impression I got when I convinced multiple of my friends to do it. If anyone wonders it's also a very simple process that doesn't require much effort or time at all. I just went to the local pharmacy and asked to sign up, and practically just had to fill in my name on a paper
ah yes, you have many private hospitals...
Here, they will never make money from those surgical procedures.
Hospitals should be non profit like they are in most of developed nations. It is funny how americans think they live in the greatest country in the world but refuse to call an ambulance because it is too expensive.
Why do you even want your organs after you dead.... may as well just give them away. For most of us, probably the only way we will ever get to save a life ourselves.
Dustin Seaward the belief of body purity. Several religions have/had times where they thought if the body was desecrated via removal of organs or decapitation they were considered unwhole and would be rejected by their deity.
Another thing to point out is the uncertainty of death, some people dont want to be opened up and stuff taken out if they are going to sit there and experience the entire thing without being able to react.
Im chronically ill so i cant donate. And nor would i want to. I dont want to give away my shitty organs. (Even if i was one, they would check then and say their to ill/weak)
Thats the equivalent of praising a dog for not stealing the car...
solomon kane Yea pay the dead person lmao
Minty - They then said "you could leave the money to whoever you wanted". Meaning you already have it in your will or whatever and it goes to your family or whoever you want. Some organs are worth a lot. So no it's not paying a dead person and then that's it lol.
A doctor wanted my uncle's organs he tried to get us to disconnect him, We refused and 3 days later my uncle woke up.
What kind of a "hospital" was that?
Memorial Hermann in Houston.
@@santiking6481 I have been involved in thousands of resuscitations and hundreds of cases of patients requiring prolonged (a month was about the longest I remember now) supportive care waiting for brain recovery and never saw anything like that.
It's amazing how the brain can sometimes recover...esp. young brains.
Good point
I'm glad he woke up. I hope he is doing well
I figure, if I'm dead, I don't need 'em, might as well help someone else.
Eternal Void not only that, but kids in Africa could use them for food too!
Or or, just hear me out, whenever the kids get hungry they have the organs to munch on.
+scienceaddict77
What if you were still alive and they were wrong about you being brain dead like many cases have been?
The Architect honestly the broken English you're speaking completely makes me want to ignore your opinion, also what you said is wrong. doctors don't willingly kill patients by unplugging them from life support. only time it happens if they're far beyond recovery and have permission from the family.
The likelihood of you being alive (especially without any kind of irreversible damage) is slim if there even is a chance I would go as far as to say you are far more likely to be struck by lightning at different locations (and live) within the same hour than you are of surviving brain death. Also here is a part of an article I read;
*"Brain death is the irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the all-important brain stem that houses the RAS and the mechanism that controls our breathing. Dead is dead. Brain death isn't a different type of death, and patients who meet the criteria of brain death are legally dead."*
www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/02/nobody-declared-brain-dead-ever-wakes-up-feeling-pretty-good/253315/
Just sign up for organ donation. The chances that you are misdiagnosed are incredibly slim let alone the chance that you will even have your organs donated, might as well sign up anyways. But maybe that's just me, after all, its your decision.
Am I going to donate my organs: Yes.
Why: Simply because I won't be using them.
smart 💗
think twice ua-cam.com/video/EZVo5O0W7VE/v-deo.html
My mom had a liver and kidney transplant in April, 2019. Thank you for donating the gift of life! This is the most incredible thing someone and their family can possibly do in such tragic times. Through death there is life.
I received my double lung transplant on April 19, 2011.
Here in Austria we have the opt-out rule: everyone is a donor unless registered as objector.
ozdergecko I wonder how many people would actually opt out in America. I think a little of it is laziness and the lack of trust in the system
ozdergecko same here... every country should be like that
That should be the universal rule.
ozdergecko That's another reason why Austria is a shit hole.
+Alexander Nikolaus -- If it's the same as here (and many other European and South American countries) it becomes such a normal thing everyone approves of that it's neither talked or thought about.
My aunt was considered "brain dead" while in a coma and is now still alive and thriving well so its not always accurate
brookepotter123 then she probably wasn’t brain dead...
Bel Air no doctors classified her as completely brain dead
Bel Air I was saying diagnosis isnt always accurate
brookepotter123 then she wasn’t brain dead 💀
brookepotter123 You probably misheard something because no one can be misdiagnosed as brain dead sis
I agreed to be an organ donor as soon as I got my driver's license at 16. I sympathize with any family who goes through the waiting process for a donor/transplant. I want to change the world even after I'm gone.
R u alive dude?
@@jungkookieswithsometea9570 I’m pretty sure he took his own life
There's a cathedral near my house that recently received an Organ Donation. I must say, it sounds great.
;)
Master Therion Wow
was it an Ear? *_^
No, you are thinking of Shakespeare, "Friends, Romans, countrymen, *lend me your ears* "
man youre always on the top comments xD
If you weren't already near the death bed, I'd donate my spine to you.
For a long time, I was not an organ donor. I wanted to take it all with me. Then I had kids. And I realized that if something happened to them, I'd be looking for an organ donor to help them out. So now I'm an organ donor. I hope that if I die in a suitable way, my organs will be able to help someone else's kids.
Or help a serial killer who ends up killing your kids?
Well, that's kind of an extreme isn't it
My cousin donated her organs.Guess how old she was. Eight years old.She passed away from too much liquid in her brain.She donated her kidneys .People are living today because of her.
Love you Kat 💜🐴
❤❤❤ thank you kat she probably saved another childs life
Yesss!!!
To you whom i don't know,
Every time i see the sunrise and sunset i think of you, every time i hear a note of a music i think of you, every drop of rain and a flake of snow falls on my face i think of you, every breath of air i take i think of you, every time i look at my son and daughter and my grandson i think of you, in fact there is not a moment that passes by me, and i don't feel your presence, you donated your liver to me, and now part of you is me and we are whole.
I don't know your name but i see you every day and feel you every moment.
I wish there was a word in human's vocabulary to describe my utmost thanks and gratitude to you,, but THERE IS NONE.
waikarimoana aw, this is lovely.
Thanks Maggie,
Thousands of people are suffering and awaiting organ transplant, and many people loose their lives in accidents and not knowing that they can gift a new life to those who profoundly appreciate the gift of life.
Lets all be an organ donor and save lives.
waikarimoana the issue is you can't just die in an accident and give them. You have to of died in an hospital setting. My mom was able to donate bc she was on life support for 5 days before she died in the ICU.
Hi Lisa,
I live in New Zealand, we have treaty with Australia of giving one another donated organs, and the flight is about 2 hours, so there must be a way to keep the organs alright for transplant.
I went to hospital 3 times and the donated livers were not match and the forth time, it was the right one.
I was told that the first liver that i was going to have, was from a gentleman in Australia, there were two of us waiting for the donated liver and it was a better match for the other person.
The final liver was from a person like you mother, he was in coma for 5 days and there were 6 people waiting to receive his organs.
2 kidneys, hart and longs, liver, and eyes, i received his liver.I hope he is in a right place but i truly feel him all the time, day or night, sleep or awaken, if there is a force i am sure it is looking after hime, till our soul and sprit meet finally one day., best regards, Tony.
Got you.
I am a donor, When I die, I don't need them. If there is someone out there who's life could be saved by salvaging my parts, I am happy to do it. If I were able to see it, it would give me overwhelming joy to see a family kept together because of my organ, and to know that my family's loss can still have a silver lining.
You could donate a kidney and see that lol
@@alfmar95 Or part of a liver, one lung, or part of your intestines.
My mom received a heart transplant last year October 1st and shes healthy as ever today- Thanking every single person who is an organ doner!!!!!!!!
The brain death test sounds scary to me. In the sense that what if you are still there within your mind but you can't react physically, but there is also the dilemma of would I really want to spend my life trapped in my head. It's just hard to consider the possibilities (whether or not said possibilities are actually possible). Honestly I was very on board with organ donations and now it's starting to freak me out a little.
It's not just physical tests... they must also do an EEG to determine no brain activity is present
@@hebejeebieXD it is discouraged to use advanced brain tests unless it is absolutely needed.. and in almost all cases "it never is".
@@payton4094
But still, If someone was to declare me brain dead then I'd want to make EXTRA sure that i'm really brain dead. I mean, that's the least they can do if they were going to take my organs.
It should. Keep digging.
@@hebejeebieXD No such tests are required.
My mom gave my grandpa one of her kidneys when I was 9. I am almost 21 now and he is still here to see his great-grandchildren. That's why I always advocate for organ and blood donations. I cannot donate for medical reasons, which in a way makes me a hypocrite, but I can and do volunteer my time to help the cause.
Proud to say I’ve been an organ donor since I was old enough to sign up as well as being a blood and stem cell donor. Like other people have said it’s probably the only chance many of us will get to actually help someone else and save a life. For me personally I am willing to help other people in any way shape or form if I can.
my daughter's bff spent her teen years waiting for a kidney. She got one on labor day a couple of years ago. She now leads a normal life. No more spending hours a week getting dialysis. It saved yet life as well.
I’d not really want to donate something whilst alive eg a kidney but after I’m dead sure, take them all! No use to me anymore and if they save a life, that’s great!
Edit: interesting to see what I wrote two years ago! I think maybe I might be a bit more okay with donating a kidney now ... I certainly feel less carefree about the notion of my heart beating for someone else, but I think it is still the right thing to do despite the slight uneasiness I feel at the prospect. The one part of my body that I really don’t want shifted is my brain and brain stem (if that should ever become a practice)- my consciousness is the thing that is mine alone I think 😅. I guess it’s the beauty of having the power to save a life after yours is gone, against the fact that the flesh that you grew and that sustained you is made part of another being. An interesting topic to be sure.
Piggu Gudu no don't when you get in accident the doctor check if organ donor if you are the doctors will mostly likely leave you to die no joke
That is a myth fool.
My friend gave me hers and we were both alive and in our early 20’s when we did it. She lives normally, basically no difference and she’s very healthy. So am I. It really is a great thing and I hope if someone around you needs it you’ll consider it.
I would hope i had the courage to do so... but if somebody ends up needing one later in their life, I can't help but think it possible that I would too, and then having another as spare might be of use. But I do understand it is selfish to think this way, and if someone around me does need it, i am sure to remember the example of you and your generous friend :)
Piggu Gudu as long as you are willing to let them slice and dice you open as you are alive on life support equipment. They won't be giving you any anesthetic while they do this. There have been cases where the patient has physically reacted and tears have streamed from their eyes during organ harvesting. How can that be? There's so much more you should know before Signing up for organ donation.
When I'm dead, take what ever is needed I obviously don't need them any more; why let them go to waste?
Mick Noe exactly
Mick Noe same here
That is what i think to- i could help someone when i am dead to
I’m still trying to understand how exactly this works but he did say you have to still be breathing and have a heartbeat in order for your organs to be used. That’s probably why most people don’t want to do it.
Hey.
If you're dead, why would you care if you donate organs? Seriously what's the big deal
One word: superstition.
Edwin Luciano another word: religion
Extremely slim, unlikely, possible chance that they can find a way to bring you back to life
This is why I think organ donations should be opt-out instead of opt-in.
MachineFight Then they go to jail for killing a patient.
I signed when I got my license. I signed again when I joined the military. I won't need them, and neither will you. Why not offer someone, a mother, a father, someone's son or daughter, or even a child the gift of life? A chance to see? To recover from terrible burns? To live a normal life? :-)
George Martin Well said.
I have cornea transplants, 20 year old female in left eye; 22 year old male in right eye. That was 25 years ago. I say a prayer for them every night, they gave me sight. Blurry every morning, that stayed for hours, I couldn’t even drive . The young people are now in God’s kingdom. Cute story here, someone asked me if I’d go cross eyed, since one was male & one was female. Hey, this was from someone who loves me & was very worried.
Whether people like it or not, there are non-donors who will remain that way.
And about the people asking why they are non-donors, the answer is simple: it's their body, their decision and they don't have to justify it to anyone.
I would love to donate my organs if I die but.. I'm scared a critical accident would happen to me and my chance of survival would be low and once they know I'm an organ donator they would try to kill me. Other than that I have no problem donating them.
That's why there's a problem. The "i don't have to justify my choice" opinion tells us that you don't have an argument. You don't need your organs when you're dead (show me verses if you claim religion). And this paranoia about doctors kill you for your organs, citation please.
My Own Living Nightmare Well, I know my choice is wrong and I know that I really should be a donor, but not having it checked makes me feel like death is further away than it very well could be. There’s been a lot of deaths and near deaths in my family and I don’t want to be one of them (obviously I will eventually die, I mean early deaths). Although, I technically already have been one since I aspirated fluid at birth, but that was easily taken care of, so I wouldn’t really count that.
Holly Hobbie but how do they justify it to themselves? They have to have a reason, and that reason is their justification, to both themselves and others. And that’s all people want to know.
Isaac Evilman search up “fear of death eft” and watch some videos. Eft (emotional freedom tapping) is good for letting go of your pain or fear around anything. It worked for me and lots of other people, and it’s backed by science :)
Here are two :) it’ll work if you do, I promise.

If around half of Americans sign up to be organ donors, how is that 26 per million?
PlatinumGamer I like you
PlatinumGamer 26 per million as in one's that die in a condition that makes donation possible. they're not talking about live donors here
PlatinumGamer probably it means that's the successful donations. You'd be surprised how many donated organs get wasted due to incompatibility, undetected disease, delay in transplanting, et .
PlatinumGamer around half agree. not everyone signs up. for a lot it's a "I'll do it later." things
PlatinumGamer with valid drivers licenses
Here in Germany there have been cases where not everything was done to keep the Patient alive Even though there was a minimal Chance of a Recovery. Instead they were declared brain dead in Order to Take their organs
While I'm still an organ donor myself.. I've experienced it with my mom who was on life support. And it was a horrid experience. The organ people traveled to the hospital even though my grandma (my moms mom) asked them not to, they sat and fake cried with us, begged for her organs and as soon as we said yes, he literally got up immediately and left the room and never saw him again. He used words like "harvest her organs" as if she was an alien. Also after she died I got a letter from them saying thank you and a story of each person that got what organ of hers.. Was nice actually until the last sentence said "but her eyes couldn't be used after harvesting them from her". That sentence is burned into my brain.
Lisa Boliaris wowwww
Swifter Productions - You aren’t serious right?... You seriously can’t figure out by some basic common sense & reading comprehension that when she says she’s “still an organ donor”, she means she’s still signed up to have her organs utilized when she passes, not that she’s already donated her organs..... ya dumdum 🙄
I’m sorry you had that experience❤️
U
They come in and pressure the family who are already upset and grieving.
ya, I had planned my donation.
I will donate it when I will die to my human race. I proud to know that my body can be in use after I will die
I am so grateful to my donor. He died in a car accident at 19 years old. I know what he looks like, and just this summer went to visit his grave. It turns out that he and his family lived in the same town where I used to live years ago when married, and he worked at a garage. I used to see that garage in town all the time. I have been to the towns hospital where his mom worked for years. He went to the same college as my boyfriend and went for the same thing as my boyfriend, and they both never got to finish. My boyfriend because of life, and my donor because of death. I so love my donor Rick. I will always love how he decided to help not just me, but others as well...I will see him one day when I leave this earth I pray.
I know very well what you are talking about.
I´m from a country that has the opposite law than America. We have to sign up if we don´t want to be a donor. I think that´s the better version to handle this :)
I am American and I totally agree.
May I ask which country?
Yaellow Thats dumb
H Z
Why though, can you explain?
Gonna need to know what country so i can high five a few officials..
When I pass away I won’t need my organs anymore so take whatever someone needs to save their life.
We really need to make those organ 3D printers SOON!!!!!!

Cameron Harper I've seen an article about a man using a 3d printed organ
That technology is incredibly advanced, we probably won't have it for years.
we actually have several working prototypes... we also have robotic eyes that hook right into your optical nerve and prosthetic limbs that will hook into the nervous system congratulations you will probably live long enough to see real life cyborgs...
I've always been an organ donor. I really don't know why people aren't going to donate their organs when they die. I mean, what the hell are you going to do with your organs when you're dead? They're going to cut them out anyway...
SaiyaMan2011 The thing is some doctors might take advantage of your organs
Only the most disreputable of doctors would take advantage of that. Do you even know what the odds of a doctor killing you for an organ are? There are maybe a handful of cases where that was ever suspected of happening. So let's say there were 10,000 world wide this year (dead people everywhere! mass murder for organs! Not a remotely possible statistic!) Okay. So. That means you also have to give up ever being in a car ever. Because that's 1.3Million per year. And by your own logic you're not going to do something that might cause somebody else to kill you.
That means no airplane. No eating in a restaurant. No nothing. The chances of you dying to a shady doctor are so incredibly small that if you avoid organ donation because of it, you really need to stop doing the majority of your monthly activities too.
heck your 8 times more likely to die from medical malpractice than firearms violence (including suicide)... meanwhile at the beginning of this year i was hit twice by cars within the same week while riding my bicycle...
My exact response to my husband who is not a donor. I said I’m dead my parts are useless to me. If I have something that’s healthy enough to save someone else’s life why not help. What if it was me or our child that needed a transplant of some dirt & we got it from a donor. That person just saved our lives. He thinks if the Dr or hospital knows you’re a donor they won’t work as hard to save you. I said thier 1st job IS to save you. Do no harm.
+Maureen70 your husband is right
I honestly wish that I was okay with organ donation because it can save so many lives, but it's just not something I could do. I have family members that work in different units in different hospitals and I was told first hand that if someone who's waiting for a transplant has a higher chance of making it than you do then it's going to come down to who will have the better odds. I myself used to donate blood to do something to help others. I can't even be a donor now because I am now chronically ill with multiple autoimmune diseases. All I know is people have been labeled as brain dead and have woken up to live another day. I feel like there is such a rush once they decide they believe they are brain dead and then the pressure is put on the loved ones who want to do the right thing but they want to make sure that they are actually not coming back from it.
On the one hand i don't mind donating my organs to save other peoples lifes. On the other hand, despite all the thousands of daily deaths due to diseases, starvation, dehydration, wars, murders and all the other terrible things happening on this planet the human population is still rising with an unreasonable and unhealthy high rate, causing many long-term problems for the future.
one is not connected to the other.
I don't plan on being an organ donor honestly.
Nothing wrong with that.
Good.
Its your right. Dont let anyone call you "close minded" or "inconsiderate" because your not.
Good on you!
Me too
My mother got a liver transplant 24 years ago, the blessing the donors family gave go us, goes on today and we all plan to be donors too because of her selfless choice to share. Yes, miracles do happen, she's still alive never had a major rejection episode. We call her Frankie but are so happy to still have her. Please, you don't need it when you go, bless a family as ours has been.
when you cant afford something...............
AaronExDee really? I thought that everyone gets money for this
Hey wally cril,,
Not in Australia and New Zealand, transplant of any sort is FREE FOR ALL, rich or poor, you get you transplant only on the bases of NEED,, and all the organs are donated,,no one makes money out of transplant.
I have liver transplant and can not find words to describe my utmost gratitude to the man who gifted his liver to me.
You have a great day.
Do you actually think that money doesn't corrupt people?
Oh and he donated half of his liver unless he was dead.
It happens whether you think it does or not.
There is always a loophole somewhere people abuse.
Like faking medical records for a hefty amount of money.
lmao you are actually brainwashed. fucking dumbass.
Liking your own damn comment like an insecure person trying to make themselves feel special.
I dont think you understand that money gets you everything no matter own safe and un-corrupted you think you health system is.
Every country should have the law they use in The Netherlands: if you don't sign up for donation, you are not eligible to receive one if you ever need one.
Istvan Henrich Vanyi That's a good system.
Great system
Yeah.. karma's a bitch.
Istvan Henrich Vanyi no. That is stupid.
Istvan Henrich Vanyi that's stupid some ppl can't donate because of their health or certain meds they r on they shouldn't be punished for something they have no control over
I had a heart transplant almost 6 years ago. I am grateful to my donor’s family everyday. I have a new life. PLEASE BE A DONOR.🙏❤
donnating my gold hair
ehem...toupé
Edwin Luciano are you french
Donald TRUMP would look good as pube weaves, I'll take
Donald TRUMP I don't know, does the Donald like the French? Let's just say that I'm not an Arab, not Muslim, and not Mexican. But I might be Russian! Does the Donald still love the Russians? If he does, then I'm Russian. I like it here. I don't want to be put on a train and shipped to the border.
I SNORTED
When I die my body feels every touch and pain until in in the grave
well what if you get in an accident and are in the hospital but they see you’re a donor, they might not save you. that was always my thought.
I'm not generally healthy so I don't think that I can donate.
Alex Andrews maybe you can. poor heart. maybe good liver or lungs.
I'm really unhealthy. my heart is kinda bad. yet healthy.
every other organ is good. maybe skin.
and maybe just donating to science.
just sign up so they can see what they can do with your organs
The bad organs could go to science. I'm autistic and I'm donating my brain to science because my brain is wired like an autistic brain, and I don't wish autism upon people. It has its perks, but it interferes with my life. That's why I am choosing to give my brain to science and everything else to the medical field.
I am a chronically ill person with many diagnosed diseases and disorders.
I thought this same thing too but realized that I don't have to worry about that. I still signed up for full donation of everything that may be useful in the event of my passing. The doctors can make that decision on whether or not those organs are viable. Don't worry about your health troubles when it comes to donating- obviously, if you have been financially able to go to the doctors and been able to get your diagnoses on record then in the event of your death your illnesses will be known. Chronically ill or not, I bet the quality check is still the same for every person. No doc wants to waste their own time, someone else's, and all of that money just to further endanger a very sick person's life implanting an organ that will only fail.
Sign up! Knowing I may save some else's life with this body that has only served to torture me these last seven years makes it all worth it for me. You just never know. Sign up! 😊
You can donate the healthy organs. The rest for science or nature.
I'm anemic so I can't donate blood, but I'm still an organ donor. The doctors can decide if the organs are viable, but even if one is in bad health, another could be the thing that saves someone's life
I work in the organ donation field, pretty amazing field to be a part of. If you ever had dental work, acl repair, fusion of your spine due to a herniated disc or any kind of tendon repair, then there's a chance I processed that.
Its easy to speak for a group of people, but when it comes down to it, I'm sure some doctors probably announced some people dead when they're actually still alive. There are so many stories where people are awaken at the morgue.
Grill Wasabi Sushi Channel not to mention the numerous documented cases of air in brain death diagnosis.
You won’t wake up in the morgue with no organs, but you could wake up as they’re being removed.
What you are referencing is pronouncement by EMS or in the ER. Not brain death.
I’ve always told my parents and friend that when I die, if possible, to donate my organs because why let them go to waste when you could help someone else’s life
jasmine, for your sake, please, watch this ua-cam.com/video/EZVo5O0W7VE/v-deo.html
You're not dead though that's the whole point - organs from a dead patient are worthless
Jesus loves you!
I told my mom when I was 12 “when I die before you, you can donate my organs to help other people live a happy and longer life”
Awwww that's do nice
OUR MINA CAN"T DIE!!!!
This is not accurate we do in the hospital know if a patient is an organ donor. There are reps for the center for Oregon recovery in the hospital and they do have permission to approach families of those on life support or not expected to make it and talk about organ donation while the patient is still alive. That is not to say that they purposely don't fight for people's lives but to say that there is no talk of organ donation during the actual care is completely false.
I'm not the healthiest person In the world. That's why I'm not going to donate, I feel If someone is going to get an organ it needs to actually be good or useful, not some organ that will die a couple years down the line and have to get replaced again.
Respect to all you donors out there.
The doctors will evaluate everything. Please don't make these decisions. I don't think you are a doctor.
It isn't just literal organs like the liver or kidneys. It's tissue et. al. too! And while I certainly think I've done a number on my organs, I know that the organ donor symbol on my ID says this much: take my tissue, take my corneas, whatever. Hope you can take the actual organs too!
I look forward to giving a modicum of life to someone even when I don't sail on Planet Earth anymore. Be it tissue, eyes, organs -- there is SO much that people need, and it is SO easy to say "Yes, i'll donate". Done deal, sealed on my ID, lets help some families out if mine loses me yeah?
As depressing at it is there needs to be more of an incentive while your living to make some people agree to donate their organs when they are dead.
In my country they're going to automatically enlist everyone as a donor, and give you the option to be taken off of the register. A lot of people simply don't become donors with the current system because they're too lazy to send a letter to be put on the register, or they don't care what happens with their organs, so hopefully this new method helps boost the amount of donors.
Corey Dontworryboutit unfortunately there isn’t U.N.O.S. (United Network of Organ Sharing) has strict guidelines about not profiting from your organs. What you’re basically suggesting is selling your organs on the black market (and who’s to say they won’t kill you for your organs if you make such a deal) and even if you went this route (not saying that you should or would) U.N.O.S. who is in charge of finding organs for transplant would stop the organ from being used because it was “bought” at least here in the states.
Some organizations do some screwed up stuff with your organs, like playing god. I don't want my organs to be a part of that.
It would be nice if they would let people choose which organs they wish to donate. I'd have no problem with donating internal organs, but I'd like to keep my bones, skin and eyes.
Vanessa 45 In other countries u can specify what u wish to donate
Never encountered someone with the same opinion on this subject as me before but I'm glad I did.
In Canada you specify what you would like to donate. They ask if there are any changes that you would like to make, when you renew your healthcard every 5 years, but you can make changes anytime.
if we only funded stem still research >_>
Shady Pikachu Stem research is just growing new organs right?
in a nut shell, that's the best utilization of stem cells! so yes lol
Shady Pikachu oh sweet! To bad religion gets in the way.
I also support stem still research.
I believe in God and it seems pretty cool to me whats wrong with it?
My husband died at home and was able to donate corneas, skin, long bones, valves, etc. So, they don’t have to die in a hospital setting to be able to donate certain things.
Heck yeah! Been on the Donate for Life list over 15 years. Hopefully some day I can help others live. That's an honor!
I am a proud donor....and my family supports that !!!
they are donors themselves
All my love from Greece
Kostas GrN I'm going to register as soon as I turn 18. Love from Serbia❤
A person who is declared "brain dead" is given a drug to paralyze them
for the harvesting(because the body convulses) but no anesthesia (it's
considered a waste of drugs). The persons heart rate and blood pressure
increase tremendously as the organs are being harvested. If the brain is
truly "dead" then the body would not get any pain signals to react the
way it does. There is another youtuber "ANON Z"who posted a video
about the laws and harvesting procedures. @
Yes never ever trust doctors were making $2000000 off of your beautiful free organs
Before people shame those who do not wish to donate, let me say this:
For a lot of people, it's a religious issue. My great grandmother believes that God made her body just for her, and no one else. If God wishes her to pass, her organs go with her. Others, that believe in afterlife, think that if their body is missing their organs, then so will their soul, and they'll never leave the earth because God won't accept the shell of his creation.
I don't believe this, but please understand that it's not just because of being "uneducated", it's more than that for many.
Madison Curry but if the basis of all religion is love, what can be more loving than to give yourself up in death to help keep someone else alive? To save their life?
*cue violin solo*
zain I'm not religious, I couldn't tell you. Religion is fluid, however, and not everyone believes the samw
what if my organs save the life of the next hitler?
laCruz40oz I'm simply saying it's different from person to person. It's a choice, butt out of other's choices because it IS just that, a choice
Madison Curry chances are that surgeons all over the world save the lives of a few future murderers every day. Does that mean surgeons are a threat to society or their work isn’t saving lives?
If I know I would die no matter what, I'd donate. However, if there's a chance I could survive, no way. The perfect way to end a life is to save another's.
you didn't watch the video.
Alex Huneault I did watch the video. They asked if I wanted to donate an organ and why. I answered. Have you watched it?
As someone who is waiting for a lung transplant, I am just thankful for anyone who becomes a donor. You are HEROS. There is never enough organs, people like you are amazing and admirable! Thank you!
My dad has always instilled the importance of being an organ donor in me since I was a kid. Thought it was weird, but I always took it to heart. After my friend died, and his organs donated, I became much more vocal about it. Always insisting people talk to their families and let them know your wishes. You WILL die, and you can die at ANY time. Always better to have some baseline for what you would want.
Several things to consider. 1, people who have been considered "brain dead" have actually came back and recovered so that doesn't necessarily mean anything, although it's probably considered rare but it can happen.
2, they keep your body alive while they harvest your organs so they don't let you actually "die" until they are done.
3, I have had family members that were harassed about signing papers moments after their loved ones passed and they hospital staff wouldn't even back off long enough for them to calm down after getting the news.
These are but a few things that some people consider when they decide not to become organ donors. Organ donation is good in alot of ways but you have to look at every side of the coin and not judge people who decide not to do it.
Me personally i am an organ donor i see it as its better for someone else to have it i wont be needing my heart when im dead
When I found out my brother was a donor I was really upset. Idk why. It’s hard to explain. I know it can save lives but it’s still upsetting for some reason that I can’t pinpoint.
I’m definitely an organ donor. I am not going to need them and my organs can save lives.
I’m happy I took that off my drivers license
Good choice, Mya 👍
Me too!
I’d never give up my organs
if organs are donated, why are they so expensive?
GG2K7AU05 It's probably not the actual organs that are expensive, but the tools used to transplant them and the time and dedication it takes to recover.
They're not going to fight to save your life because you're working is are worth 2 million dollars
I was a medic for the Navy. I also worked as a Surgical Technologist and in the Intensive Care unit. I can verify that of the mariade of chaotic things that can occur in I.C, checking if the patient is an organ donor is the last thing we do. In fact, I don't recall a time we ever mentioned during a surgery or care if they were an organ donor. We just did our jobs.
With that being said: I would like to thank the Vampires of America for their hefty contribution to my finances to make this false claim to ease more -suckers- intellects in to becoming organ donors. Vampires of America: _"We may suck blood, but nobody sucks more than you."_
Probably it would be best if organ doners would be higher on the waiting list than people who refuse to donate their organs once they are dead. Seems fair to me if someone who will eventually help someone gets help earlier then some prick who is to selfish to donate something they don't need anymore.
how do you know they're being selfish? not everyone can be a doner and it's not your business why people choose not to. My friends can't donate since they have severe connective tissue diseases and their organs will kill someone.
Definitely disagree
Usually people who dont want to donate also dont want to receive organ donations so its all good with us
What an idiot.
To those of you who are calling this stupid, many countries actually have this very system signed into law. Everyone is an organ donor by default, and if they decide to opt-out they're put at the bottom of all transplant waiting lists. If your organs wouldn't be suitable for donation because of disease or deformity, they'll be assessed upon your death and probably won't be used, but you can still be listed as a donor. It won't hurt anything.
I think this is a fantastic idea and should be implemented everywhere.
I don't want to donate because I want my organs to be symmetrical inside my body. Plus I'll feel like I lost something.
sorry bud, your organs aren't symmetrical... might as well take everything out, empty space always has symmetry
Firstly you'd be dead so you wouldn't feel anything, secondly your insides are not symmetrical. Do you think you have two livers on both sides of your body? How about your pancreas or stomach? You fucking idiot.
Super Hans Lol I meant the pairs of organs like kidneys but anyways I'd rather be incinerated in a volcano
I got my kidney transplant at the age of 12.. I am not 28. Because of someone who was a Organ donor I got to live my life, Just like any other person. So who ever you are reading this. If you're a Organ Donor then i just have to tell you that you my friend, You are a Hero! Just like whoever gave me there Kidney, A true Hero.
donating blood is also fine.
The only reason why I do not want to donate is becuase I fear I will still "feel pain" after I'm gone while they take my parts :P ...sounds scary!
You would feel pain and lots of it! Because you're not going to actually be dead formation mark the doctors determine brain death and remember they're making $2000000 of every organ harvesting
let's donate brains to maker studios and Disney. #Istandwithpewdiepie
don't PewDiePie do weird things like; drinking 'pee', torching toys, and shooting air rifle indoors? If I didn't realize he's joking I'd be scared for the kids who's watching him. Also, running outside with no shirt and yell "One Million!!!" and talk to a cut-out board he called "Ainsley". He's soo funny.
xponen wether you like his content ot not im sure we can all agree he isnt a supporter of hitler xD
Don't care about Pewds, but Maker Studios also killed off YourFavoriteMartian. I liked those guys.
Take my organs give the remainings to dogs on street. At least i will do some good.
Altan Şirin going out the way I came in. one piece.
You know you are not dead the first 10 min even if you hart stops. I donate nothing. I do not want to see a cut when i can see because my blood in there or the cell have still energy left before that go`s out.

What if they promise to shoot you in the head with a high power rifle 5 minutes before they take the organs
Recently signed up to be an organ donor c: I've always wanted to save a life and if I can do that even if I'm not around then that's great. Also helped I watched this anime called angel beats that pushed me to actually becoming an organ donor :)
DeadlyNightShade11 Anime4Life
I would donate my organs to people I love
Leave my organs alone!
I would donate my body to an university, I really don't want to help humanity surviving :v
Once you donate your body to the university, they can use it for whatever they want, including helping humanity survive either directly or indirectly. And it's not like you can do anything about it!
But I like your instincts. Helping humanity survive are not three words that appeal to me either. Now if it can benefit dogs...
Edwin Luciano I'd rather let them use with investigation pruporses
Rodrigo Alcala They might use your body to investigate how a deadly disease works and find a cure which might help the human race survive longer than you and I wish it would. That's the point I've been trying unsuccessfully to make.
Edwin Luciano So ... I ought to donate only my brain and let the other parts be burned and thrown to the sea
Edwin Luciano I'd rather die in my personal library at the age of 40 with a bottle of whisky in one hand and, a cuban cigar in the other, while reading "L'étranger" by Albert Camus :)
Why is staying alive is so expensive can we just help each other out money should've have never existed in the first place
Ah, a communist
Still not donating
You provide no reasons why. So why don't you want to save lives?
rosewater-constellation maybe because he does not want to donate organs? Leave it at that and focus on your intentions.
3:28 is the only reason I'm not on the donor register. I have no idea what the situation is going to be when I die and I'd like my family to have full control (even though I'm sure they'd choose to donate my organs).
waofy very smart!
im too afraid of doctors not taking care of me if they see it on the chart
Just a myth
Doctors also make good money by simply doing their job and not risking their medical license.
ImNotBritish ¡ They check if you're a donor after you've already died
it not a myth
i’ll keep my organs, thanks lol
