Real Men…
Yep, real men are
organ donors, and so are real women!
Not a very kinky theme
but a very important one. A good friend of mine would have died without a
transplant, even after the transplant it was a struggle for him that required a
lot of courage, the 2nd lease on life didn’t come as a free pass but
with a lot of pain. The medication is heavy, the immune system artificially
lowered, you’re on steroids that make you prone to depression and give you
heavy mood swings, you’re weak and have trouble concentrating and you’re taking
more medication than food, you also live with the knowledge that a simple flu
can kill you. The first few months are killer…
Why I am on about it?
Simple, because I want YOU to be an organ donor, don’t be a selfish cunt, if
you think in case something happens to you, you deserve an organ, or your loved
ones deserve one (yes, think mom, dad, sister, brother, wife, children, your
best friend…) then you should be willing to give one.
Simple statistics: A
lot of European countries have opt-out instead of opt-in systems, it’s called
presumed consent. Instead of registering as an organ donor, you only have to
register if you don’t want to be an organ donor. Austria is among the leading
countries and if you don’t opt out, you’re in, and you know what?
“Under Austrian
legislation, organs can be recovered irrespective of relatives' objections.
Today, the procurement rate in Austria is twice as high as those in the United
States and most of Europe, with the number of kidney transplants performed
nearly equal to the number of people awaiting donor kidneys.”
Think about yourself,
think about your loved ones, and get that donor pass! In case some crazy fucker
with a gun shoots you, if you have an accident – you don’t need your organs
anymore, but maybe a child won’t lose a parent, or parents won’t lose a child.
Think about it, and if you believe in karma, hey, even if you were a nasty
philandering bastard who stole candy from kids and kicked puppies and kittens,
there’s your chance to make something up and get karma brownie points!
GO AND DO IT! Just
because you’re a bit lazy somebody else might die!
And buy yourself a t-shirt, chicks love it and the money goes to transplant research!
