Donate Yourself.

OMG... LLR you mean the Chinese?...lol

Ok...Painther... if ever I put up a thread...lol

It is a stern warning to both ;-)

BB.."my Thread"..??

painther ... its ok for bro & sis to fight... ;-)...but not in my thread... lol

lol..:)

specially on today's auspicious occasion of brotherly sisterly camaraderie, we must avoid arguments :):)

*wink*wink*

Do I see a spelling mistake in land?...lol

I better exit this thread....

you are so right BB...you should never reveal it...

and Of course it was a sarcastic comment...:)

Hahaha :) you did not donate Blister they captured your land. :) I think it is a big land out there :))

LLR... I was talking about donating... flu-virus myself...lol

BB...well said and very much in context "it is unethical to reveal the recipient's name"...:) But guess some (13 minus 11) are always interested in that to spin it around...:)

Cooldown guyz!!!!!

Blister Babu are you talking about Marriage? :))

GG... it is unethical to reveal the recipient's name...lol

HGL: Thank you (:

Suli: got ur self a new tag :P

BB..who all benifited from it? LOL

I have donated... myself over a period of time...

GG

That doesn't help am not a kiddooo :O(

The S pedestal says otherwise (:

MN...since you say, will let it go, but will not remove it from my bookmark. Never know when it can come in handy...:)

Marco... he is a kiddoo..he got along way to live....:) dont scare him..:)

Marco ,, Heart !!!

LOls ,, I thought that you know the truth

Suli: apart from your peanuts eyes.

There are other things you can donate like heart, kidney, leaver, lungs, and brain. But your deceased body should reach in hospital within 10 minutes of your death.

I will make sure you get there in time. (:

GG,, Well said :)

I think the good people don't talk much about their Actions

For example Rizks looks mean and stoopid but he might be doing a lot charity works

I will not donate myself. Lol! Nor any of my organs, I'm an expat here and there's no point. I will donate one of my organs if one from my family needs it. All I can do is donate my blood every 3 months.

You silly bed bug stucked in between the torn underwear ! :)

OK tat above comment was for my always crying pal -Sulie...:)

HGL are you sure tat was a doc and not a barber to give you such an advice ? :)

Ok getting back to the topic, you two have proved your points and we have noted it now go back to your caves and live happily....:)

ok so both of you made some valid points, and you're both right.

Just let it go, ok (:

Ok just tell one thing… If ever I donate my Organ or anything why would you know it? Will it make any difference to me or the person who received it..as you always talk negative about our charity initiatives. you knowing about it or showing evidence to you is not gonna give us any added value to the act!!

So many ideas we discussed here..for example collecting 100 Riyals a month from 20 people and sending it to needy people back home is going on well..not necessary people who are not interested should be informed about it all..

Saudi Arabia has one of the highest percentage of successful organ transplantation in the Gulf Region especially cadaveric organ transplants.

Cadavaric organ transplant increases during summer season and Ramadan. Guess who the donors were? And Why?

Fact is, Arab culture as with many asian countries, believe in burying the body as a whole and without missing pieces... Mostly because of stupid religious superstitions. To educate these people will be a hardwork.

So that is why atheists are important in this part of the world. People like Rip Cord and Thelonius would be a good candidate for organ donors once they became cadavers.

Thanks Rizks, but I am not into beer these days, restricting myself to some Gf only ...:) Docs advice...

My eyes can only fit Japanese kids, And I don't like Sushi

So i will not donate :/

HGL, come...let me take you for some nice chilled root beer ! :)

Third....waiting for the fourth LE...:)

Another lame excuse....keep them coming...:) But when all the excuses, the lame ones, are exhausted my question would still be there, When???

I posted the link just to clear some people's ignorance that people can dnate only when they DIE. Not for them to Donate or ask someone else to donate....

Ahan...I left that two in there intentionally just so that if either of the intelligent duo wants to scratch...:) No worries, dont divert the topic into english teaching...have seen that more often than not when people are lost on arguements or caught on the wrong foot and try to snuggle out. Not happening with me. If it helps I admit my english is toooooooooooo pooooooooooooor. Now can I have what I asked for?

Why on earth would someone publish in the newspaper or on QL about him/her donating their Organ?? I really dont understand if there is any need for that...lol

risks...who is the other Duo? I can see only one Duo..lol

I can read english without errors, well mostly. But guess you are not able to read it...in the last sentence under P.S. of my post I did say, dont give me lame excuses with a double pl. This one for sure qualifies as lame excuse "Even If I do something like that I dont want to prove it to YOU. Your approval is of 0 value to me..lol". So again, when?

Either you dont know to read English or something seriously wrong with you..

Did anyone ask YOU to donate?

Did I say I am going to donate? (I will 100% donate if anyone dear to me is in need)

Even If I do something like that I dont want to prove it to YOU. Your approval is of 0 value to me..lol

you really need to get some help!!

Lols GG !

No Jade... Don't even work in any hospital.

lol Happy...

Well said Gyps. It is a personal choice and it is absolutely Voluntary but I dont know why some of us are taking it as an enforced law "ohh how can I do that and bla bla bla". I think they are not aware of the benefits they get after registration. If they know they will run like how they used to do to get a goody bag from exhibition stalls for them and the whole family. http://odc.hamad.qa/en/events/ramadan_campaign/ramadan_campaign.aspx

hmmm...so now that the two intelligent duo of QL agree that organ donations can be done at Hamad while one is alive based on their reasearch (they did find out the links etc.) and assuming they would refuse the goodies that may have been announced, when can we get a confirmation of their registration with details of the parts they intend to donate and when. I guess it can be done immediately so earlier the better. So, when???...:)

P.S.: I have book marked this page and will keep haunting you till I get the confirmation and may be I would even ask one of my buddies to actually witness the hard copy of the registration. And pl. dont give any lame excuses for not doing it, pl.

Good info StacyR . . . . are you at HMC ?

Three situations when you will be asked to donate your organs:

1. Your life would not be at stake. Kidney, Liver, Pancreas, Skin and Bones. No Shelf life expectancy. This strategy is used to encourage family to donate.

2. You are brain dead but on life support. Kidney, Liver, Pancreas, Skin, Bones, Corneas, Heart, Stomach and Lungs. Only 2 weeks on life support or organs will be too unhealthy for donation. 4 - 6 hours of shelf life (liver, lungs, kidneys and heart) before it becomes unhealthy and un-transplantable.

3. You're dead (less than 6 hours). Corneas and Bones. Forget the rest. Of course they can't ask you if you're dead.

Its a must for people with White Landcruiser... or Black Nissan Patrol...

But Hamad Hospital says otherwise...

http://odc.hamad.qa/en/about/who_can_be_donors/who_can_be_donors.aspx

To donate a Kidney ..part of Liver..or Bone marrow..you dont have to die! and Expats can also do it when they are alive and healthy.

But in most cases if its only for our own parents/spouse or children we will do it. Even for them some wont...I know a 62 yr old Mother who refused to give her one kidney to her 30 yr old daughter who is undergoing dialysis every week.

The OP clearly says "Today at Hammad Hospital, you can voluntarily sign to donate my organs when you die"...WHEN YOU DIE, the last three words.

MN true that we dont know when and where we would die. However, keeping the probabilities we all plan our future lives as building a home back home, savings or investments. Same also holds true for the probability of whether an expat would be here or somewhere else (I guess the highest probability would be home country) when it dies. Moreover, the probability of an individual surviving beyond the employable age i.e. say 60 years also needs to be considered. Adding up all the probabilites in normal circumstances I guess most of us expats will not be in Qatar when they are on their death bed. I am not sure if anyone plans based on its death at a particular time as generally it is open ended.

At LLR: I'm not sure about the king himself but yes, majority of cadaveric organ receiver came from expats - laborers.

Road Traffic accidents and fall from high rise building are quite common in KSA. Most of these workers are from poor family back home and couldn't afford to pay for his body to be returned home.

So, the hospitals will usually give them an offer for an amount of money and full expense paid to transport the body back home if the family or anybody who could put a signature on the paper to give consent to them taking the organs out.

No Jade, you just have trouble understanding context.

I normally don't talk about any if I really don't know about tat.

My question is not answered : the receiver will die too?

StaceyR: your information is good,but this looks your first post that is stupid ?

"Mostly because of stupid religious superstitions"...no one should talk bad about other religions unless you really dont know abt tat religion ?

Yes Stacy I am not sure about the authenticity of this statement but I read or heard that the KSA ruler has both of his kidneys transplanted and one or both of them are from a Pakistani National.

i enlisted my self as donor too but it's been a month now i dont receive the 'donor's card' in our POB they promised.

Life for an organ receiver . . . . he will die too.

I don't understand the idea, it is narrow minded issue and why will the receiver have to leave to commit more sins or mistakes or show greediness or etc ?????

Once you’re dead, your organs become useless.

(To you)

I want to keep my organs :/

Lonius I think if you visit classified section you have 1000s of opportunities to say it is not for me.

Thelo: you're welcome (:

Thelo: For lots’ of expats coming from more open societies organ donation is nothing new.

However, Thelo is right; this advert aims at spreading organ donation awareness primarily amongst locals. But that doesn’t mean they don’t accept donations from non-nationals.

Thelo: Fair enough.

So those who plan to suicide back home can ignore this post (:

I think curiosity should be deal with some hard work. If you are interested you can call them and ask. We never know that we will die here or in some other country. Expatriates die in Qatar and Qataris die in foreign countries. Life is a hope and this idea is based on hope as well.

Thanks for sharing Marco.

Affi: I don’t understand your comment.

HGL/Thelo/Kareena: No one knows when or where they’re going to die.

This does not apply to us expats.. Doesn't really make sense at all.

Once I dont have a job, I wont be able to stay here while I am still alive. How do I donate then if I die in some other part of the world. Would I be flown in by HH at their cost or my marked organs removed and flown in? Seems it may be applicable to nationals only.

What guarantees will i get my organs will not be used to toot the horn and make the poor grocery guy come crawling to the car?

That will denote your kindness for the fellow humans ....
