leeya_mazlan: organ donation...

organ donation..organ donation..organ donation..
Have u heard of organ donation? im very sure most of us have but not many of us take any action right..and most of us didnt even bother. some of us believe if we're muslim we cant donate our organ which is very not true..and maybe until one day we're the one who needed a donor then we'll take this seriously.just maybe..but till then...
here i included a few most common question on organ donation:

Q: Who can be a donor?A: Anyone can sign up. If you are below 18, you will need parental/guardian consent.
Q: What is organ donation?A: It is the gift of one’s body parts after death for transplantation. Transplantation is an operation which replaces diseased and defective organs and tissues with healthy ones from donors.
Q: What are the organs and tissues that can be donated?A: Kidneys, heart, liver, lungs and pancreas are the organs that can be donated, and the tissues are eyes, bone, skin and heart valves.
Q: When are the organs and tissues removed?A: When death has been confirmed by two registered doctors. The doctors involved with certification of death are not involved in the transplant operation.
Q: Will my hospital treatment be affected if they know that I am a donor?A: Absolutely not. Doctors will undertake every known measure to save your life right till the end.
Q: What about religious objections?A: Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism recognise organ and tissue donation as the ultimate act of charity and benevolence.
Q: What if I change my mind?A: If at any point you decide against donating your organs and tissues, inform your family and return your donor card.
Q: Will organ donation delay funeral arrangements?A: Not at all. Following the removal of the organs and tissues, the body will be cleaned, draped and returned to the family within the shortest possible time.
Q: How can I become a donor?A: Complete a donor pledge form and forward it to the National Transplant Resource Centre. You will receive a registration card from the centre. (Inform your family that you are an organ and tissue donor).

organ donation will help another person to live a better live as we wont really need the organ when we die, right? so why not donate it, anyway its only something God borrow us..keeping it doesnt bring anything good..sigh..not every body will think this way. the negative thing is a part of every positif thing..so accept it.

Well i'm not the right person to talk on this issue, but i'm sure that i should at least give my opinion on it. a few month back i've done some discussion with my bos & i've decided to sign in as organ donor..i've done my part, how bout u?
