Such noble people, those who donate their organs to save another life is a life saver.. God bless those who love his neighbor...
that tree is amazing and beautiful, both the look and the sentiment behind it...i had donor on mine, but the last time i went to ER i said to the woman, i have a living will. i do NOT want to be put on a ventilator. she said you do realize your license says you are a donor and the only way to donate is to keep you alive with a ventilator... i removed it from my license.
What a wonderful concept!! I for one would be more than happy to know that any part of me as a donor would help another live. Why would it bother anyone when you're no longer living and breathing...to help someone else live a full life?!!
By the way Ginny, the snipe photos I posted, you had misread my commentary...they DO have a beak used as a mouth like any other bird...it's that their beak tip is flexible so they don't have to open it wide to feed.
The greatest gift one can give. I'd support being a donor unless stated not to be on the D.L..
Best,
Bonnie
The tree is very sadly beautiful. I don't know how I feel about the proposed law change. I'll have to think about that.
Wow what an incredibly emotional and beautiful idea for a tree...this post really touched me...
I love that you have all those cherished memories of photos on your tree. I have two that I found this year in my Christmas decorations which I had completely forgotten that I had.
Such a beautiful and touching post, Ginny!
I am a donor and hope in my death I can help someone.
What a fantastic idea... YES---those were lives saved by others. I wish everyone would donate their organs... That's such a great cause...
Merry Christmas.
Hugs,
Betsy
The new law will be coersive, as many of our laws across the country are becoming. It may be just a detail of switching the order of agreement or declining but the devil is in the details. Just as many people don't become organ donors because they just don't think about it, other people, who would not want to be a donor, will not say so.
Such a beautiful Christmas tree and lovely decorations
Greetings
I am always amazed at what all you have around your area and this time it is not any different - your area is amazing. I don't mind being an organ donor - but you have to be kept alive - that is what I don't want. sandie
Organ donors save a lot of lives.I personally know of some people who have lived for many years after receiving a donor organ.
I love the idea of being an organ donor. What a special tree, thanks for sharing it Ginny! I guess Jesus was the ultimate organ donor wasn't he? He died so we could have new hearts.
I must admit I have mixed feelings...not sure why. But I do.Yet I think I would be ever so thankful if I had someone in need of an organ.
Such a wonderful tree and to stand before it, it must have been touching.
What a wonderful tree. So many lives have been saved or improved by the generous individuals who choose to donate their organs.
Yes, I am a donor, it is on my driver's license.
What mixed emotions the tree must elicit.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Ginny. I am the recipient of corneal transplants so I understand just how great these gifts are. Hugs and blessings...Mary
Hi Ginny, I like people actively choosing. Just my own opinion. Great picture of that wonderful tree - both in looks and symbolically. Have an excellent day today!
What a beautiful tree and moving post!
Beautiful and meaningful tree. I did not know about that law.I agree with wildlifewatcher.
I've been an organ donor for many years, and I wish more people would agree to be a donor. However, I don't really like the idea that people should be forced to be organ donors unless they sign out of it.
What a beautiful tree. Where is it in Roanoke?
I guess I don't see why you wouldn't want to be an organ donor, but it's your body, so I also think you have the right to say no.
What a wonderful tree.
Organ donation is actually not possible where I live although people do sign up to be donors. If you are to donate a kidney, which is the most common here, you both go about five thousand kilometres away to a hospital that has the facilities. It might or might not still be a secret that you are donating a kidney; families often match. No lives lost.
To donate organs automatically is a wonderful idea and I think it should receive a five year trial. After that a more permanent decision could be made based on results and opinions.
I think it is a good idea...some people want to donate but just do not get around signing up.
I never knew this. What a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing this with us.
