organ donation

i'm telling you there is no hate, its not extreme either it is based on not wanting to hurt animals that is love. You think animals are less important than humans, I think that is extreme. The proof is there coronary heart disease is australias biggest killer, vegans do not die of coronary heart disease. the death of the animals on the other hand is directly caused by the consumer, its how economics work supply demand. If there is no demand the product is not produced. I am not making a judgement on any person, i'm making a judgement on the act of eatin animals, it is wrong, if the person sees it or not, it causes pain and suffering and I wish to play no role in allowing that to happen

I think this is totally absurd. Organ donation is a gift, when we die why take organs, etc, I am a complete doner, meaning skin, bones anything that can help another person, meat eater or not. It's pretty simple as vegs, vegans, we care it's as simple as that.

and no it doesnt make them a murder, it make them complicit in the killing. Murder is defined as the killing of humans. Instead of getting defensive about how you used to be, realise the pain that your diet, through ignorance caused. It is an atrocity on a scale that has never been witnessed on this planet. I am in the same shoes as you, i ate animals my whole life up until ten years ago, and I have to live with that but I am not going to say I didnt do it, If i say that I am to not  blame for the deaths of all those innocent animals that died to fill my belly  It denies them the dignity in their deaths that I know now they deserved.

also I would like proof that the all the children you work with who are sick arent sick because of eating animals, or if not them, their parents.

How about you don't put words in my mouth. I never said that and I don't think that, Daly.

Absurd, yes.

Well i want to help people and animals in my life and hopefully after my life. I am a doner, and i hope it will go to someone who will go on with life doing good for our world. I want all of me used, for saving peoples lives directly and the rest used for scientific research.. our bodies will rot anyway..

Well that's good for you, but that's quite rare. Most people on here know and love someone else who is a meat eater, and would be so damn heart broken if they were knocked off of a donation because they choose to eat meat. What about the lives you are ruining then? You must see that its not only the person who needs an organ, its their surrounding loves too.
If we could choose to only give organs to veg*ns, then that would allow people to only give organs to straight people, or white people, or young people... because they don't agree with the lifestyle.

I know I moved away from the question then of "would you donate" but I know the whole "if we could only donate to.." is being thought about. We can not catergorise people in that way, enough people are dying on the waiting list as it is.

I think there's a limit to everything and that's my limit. Here your only thinking about changing one person's food choices, why not do something else when you die that would help change others? When Kim Kearney passed earlier this year, her daughter set up a fund for Oscar's Law and Save Our Strays- instead of sending flowers, we put money in the fund.
That certainly raises awareness on a bigger scale, and thats what I'm going to do when I pass. I will save lives and that includes humans, but I will be raising awareness of animal cruelty when Im long gone too.

This is what annoys me with the issue. No one seems to think "What if my organs/tissue will save the life of someone who will go on to do incredible things for the earth and it's creatures?". I don't understand why people always look to the negetive first in most situations.

For me, ultimately, veg*nism is just one of many redeeming features humans can have, and I wouldn't like to condemn someone to death (which in my opinion is what refusing organ donation does) simply because they don't share all of my personal beliefs. The people who recieve my organs or tissue may not be veg*n, but they may be wonderful people in other ways and I think that makes them deserving of any part of me that can help them live their life!

Sorry.
