Hi everyone, Dusty interesting, thank you for sharing.

I have a few differing views on this- i am one of those- possibly undecided, yet i have ticked to donate on my license, besides my cornea's!! i too wear glasses and dont see the point of giving someone bad sight!!! i am just still unsure exactly how i feel.....

I belive in the idea that our soul travels thourgh different bodies in each life time (re incarnation) and that we just get a new one each time, we carry on things from life to life, sometimes ohysically, but that if i lost a limb, i would not neccessarily be re born minus that particular limb IYKWIM, but i MAY get strange pains in the area, or i may find i break it alot etc.... there wuold be some connection...

I have also seen a family member live on a dyalisis (sp) machine My older sister had complete renal failer when she turned 19- it really messed with her life as she was pretty much forced to stay home and not move out with her friends as she planned, she couldnt do alot of work, she couldnt get out and have much fun when thats what you should be doing in your 20's, she was on it for about 4 years before my dad donated one of his kidneys to her, i have seen the difference it makes to her, and i know he always jokes that a bit of him is living in her, and when he dies,(if that happens before the enevitable kidney failure- its been 10 years since the transplant, so she is now on borrowed time as they dont expect them to last for much longer than 7 or 8 years) that a peice of him will remain with her..... once it goes into failure again- she will be back on the waiting list, and back on the machine.


Now, i saying this, i also have other thoughts, its more along the line of "Nature" and that maybe the soul of the ppl who NEED these organs are actually meant to be passing on (yes, even my sister), you know the saying, when your time is up- its up, IYKWIM and by donating we are prolonging that particular souls journey, when they should be already on their way, Now i understand that someone (sorry read through quickly didnt catch the name) mentioned the precious 7 years they got to spend with their father, this is where my struggle lies, i understabd totally the desire to prolong life, i just also see it as maybe interfearing with Nature and a souls true path....

My experience with loosing my angels (m/carrages and 2 late losses) is that i felt that their time wasnt ready yet, and that has also got me thinking, that while we prolong these other lives by donation, is there a connection with the amount of fetal deaths, mis carrages etc, maybe there is a hidden link, maybe the soul of the dying person was all set to go- so another body was in the process of being made and being prepared, yet when the organ was donated and THat particular life was saved- is the repercution (sp) a lost baby who now no longer has a spirit or soul avaiable for the body as their soul is being kept alive here on earth???? Do you understand what i mean??

And to be honest, would i go to the extent of not accepting ANY medical treatment, no, but i would take a natural healer over a dr anyday.... there are natural ways of helping many deseases etc, and i would take that option before using medical technology.

and so i guess i am completely stuck by the fact that i will never really know, and i will struggle with this as i do many other "unknowns" out there in our world, just some food for thought


And one other thing i wanted to share was my Aunty and Uncles story- He doesnt beleive in donation- She does, and as they will both have the say over the other if one is left behind- they are both prepared to go against their partners wishes, if he goes first- she is overriding his decision and donating, if she goes first, he is over writting hers and NOT donating.... Dusty, i think i like the way you and your dh have come to respect eachothers wishes and do what you know the other wants, even if you dont neccessarily agree...
