    Yes, I have the PINK dot on my license.

    I am also on the list for bone marrow. I was close to giving once--had to take a ton of blood tests but then someone else matched better!!!
    ours are GREEN here in PA.
    and you are brave with bone marrow. i'm usually good with medical stuff, but that procedure scares me.

    anyone going to be a donor once they have passed away? or have already given an organ?

    anyone here that is waiting for a transplant?

    (no i'm not trying to sell your organs on the black market.. just curious ;) )
    yes, I am a donor. no, I have not given anything besides blood.
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    You're not joking. I remember in college a couple of my friends signed up for bone marrow studies in college and told me the procedure was the most painful thing they've ever had done to them.

    Thats that old urban legend story...and I'm in the same boat as kcherub, so can't help you with a kidney, sorry.
    It is not an urband legend...it was on Law and Order!
    And I am an organ donor.
    I hope to be able to save someone's life one day.

    i will be an organ donor when i meet my demise.
    it's on my driver's license as such.
    perhaps i could donate a kidney or something before my death, i don't know.

    my brother ryan (passed away 3 yrs ago) was a juvenile diabetic
    from 2nd grade on. later in his early to mid 20's his kidney's failed.
    he did dialysis for a bit till he receieved a doube organ transplant.
    a kidney and a pancreas.
    my brother Ryan rocks, he is always around keeping me on track.

    its so hard to stand by the people you love and be so helpless. Good for you that you can give back to someone in the same position as you

    i think i'm too twisted to be an organ donor, if part of me is transplanted to someone else they might get corrupted ;)

    oh yeah my mind...
    good idea miss genie

    never thought about that..whoops
    maybe they wouldn't what my brain after all.
    it's probably covered in bong resin and whatnot

    they'd be waking up in the odd small hours of the morning writing like an idiot.

    i don't think they'd be waking up, what is likely to happen is me waking up in someone else's body, cause i believe our brain makes us what we are..........and a heart to some extent, because it's linked closely to the brain, so it's bound to have stored memory of the person who was alive before.
