The card being a Donor card, is it for all usable organs or specific ones?

Also are you...

A blood donor... is it for full bloods or platelets..

 

Would you or have you been a living donor? (given a kidney to someone)

Donor, I give blood all the time and it tried to donate a kidney for my step sister but we didn't match but she did get one - the person save her life, and gave a heart to another and a lung to something else they had all three surgeries going on at the same time at the same hospital which I'm sure was rare. one person didn't make it but my sister has had an active life for almost 7 years now and hopefully will continue. Someone I work with is needing a kidney and found out good friends are compatable so will happen soon.

The one thing my hub and I agreed on was not our eyes - that is the window to the sole.

Also, don't forget to get on the bone marrow list! You can make such a difference in someones life.

Have given blood and my health card confirms my intent to donate whatever might be useful in case of my death.

As for live donation, I am saving my kidneys in case my brother needs one someday (he has chronic kidney failure). As for bone marrow - never thought about it. Honestly, I'd probably have to know the recipient...
