前幾個星期，和老媽子去逛街時看到了捐獻器官企劃的攤位，
沒有仔細的多想，我就走上前去對負責人說我要參加這個計劃。
負責人給了一張表格填寫，都是一些基本資料和勾選死后所愿意捐出器官的部分。
填寫完畢，就拿到這張卡。負責人提醒我說記得放在皮包，不要隨便亂放。
成為自愿捐獻器官者是我一直以來的愿望。
反正死了以后這些器官不拿走，跟著我埋進泥土里也只是腐爛而已。
捐獻出去，只要我的心跳繼續的跳，也就等于一部分的我還活在這世上。
但我還是有所保留啦，決定捐出所有的器官包括眼角膜，
但并不包括我的皮膚和細胞。
老媽子的反應比較好笑，在知道了我要捐獻器官后，
很大聲的"choi"了一聲。哈哈。
不過她也只是"choi"而已，并沒阻止我。
我知道很多家庭（華人家庭）都不是很贊成死后捐獻器官。
很多人還是有那種要留全尸的概念。
再加上成為器官捐獻者，在器官被醫生手術拿出來前，
雖然已經是處于腦死的狀態，但其實還是有呼吸的。
有些家庭會認為，只有還有呼吸就等于還沒死。
但，我真的是無所謂。
如果，我無法繼續用原來的這個身體存活在這世上，
那么，就讓我以另外一種方式來存活吧。
至少，當我已經沒有呼吸的時候，
這世界上還有人會因為我的捐獻，
而得以繼續代替我呼吸，繼續代替我生活。
以下是些自愿捐獻器官的資料。有興趣者不妨看一看吧。
Who can be a donor?
Anyone, young and old can sign up to be a donor. Individuals below
18 years of age will need parental/guardian consent.
What is organ donation?
It is the gift of ones body parts after death for the purpose of transplantation.
Transplantation is an operation, which involves the replacement of diseased
and defective organs & Tissues with healthy ones from donors. This
treatment helps save lives of people. Organ and tissue donation is the
ultimate humanitarian act of charity.
What
are the organs & tissues that can be donated?
The commonly transported organs are kidneys, heart, liver, lungs and
pancreas while the transplantable tissues are eyes, bone, skin and heart
valves. Thus a single donor can save the lives of a number of people.
When
are the organs & tissues removed?
Only when death has been confirmed by two registered doctors. The doctors
involved with certification of death are not involved in the transplant
operation at all.
Will
my hospital treatment be affected if they know that I am a donor?
Absolutely not. The doctors will undertake every known measure to save
your life right till the end. Only when they have exhausted all ways and
means to save your lives will the question of organ & tissue donation
be discussed with your relatives.
Are there
any religious objections?
No. All the major religions of the world -- Islam, Christianity, Buddhism,
Hinduism and Sikhism endorse organ & tissue donation as the ultimate
act of charity and benevolence.
How are the
organs removed?
The process of organ and tissue donation involves a sterile surgical
operation undertaken by a skilled team of surgeons. There is no mutilation
or disfiguration of the body. The donor is treated with utmost respect
and dignity as in any operation. Following removal of the organs and tissues,
the surgical wound will be closed just as in any other operation.
What
if I change my mind later?
Organ donation is voluntary and if at any point you decide against
donating your organs and tissues, all you have to do is to inform your
family about it and return your donor card.
Will
the process of organ donation delay the funeral arrangements?
Not at all. Arrangements for funeral can be made as in any case of
death. Following the removal of the organs and tissues, the body will be
cleaned & draped and returned to the family within the shortest possible
time. Removal of organs and tissues does not interfere with the customary
funeral or burial including open casket arrangements.
How can I
become a donor?
Simply complete a donor pledge form
and forward the form to the National Transplant Resource Center. You will
receive a registration card from the Center. Please inform your family
of your wish to be an organ and tissue donor.
