Organ Donation

I have had a request to post about Organ Donations to support a campaign that is happening right now in Libya, I am not a medical person and do not have much back ground about this issue, some years ago an uncle of mine needed a heart transplant when he was in his early 50s, he had eventually the transplant which came from a person a world apart, a heart that belonged to a Swedish woman, the operation was carried out by the world famous Egyptian surgeon Magdi Yacoub, my uncle was very ill at the time, he survived many years after the operation, it gave him a new lease of life, he died about 6 years after the transplant, Allah bless his soul.
This is a very difficult subject and not many including myself like to talk or even think about but the reality is that it does save lives and I do hope inshaAllah that many people would take this issue seriously.

Today was May Bank Holiday in the UK and it did not disappoint, it was a typical good old fashioned cold and miserable bank holiday, no change here :o)


Here is an old joke: Today is Star Wars day, May the 4th be with you! :oS

Habibi Anglo,good topic bless you. Id opt to give my organs when I die,I don't know if it is haram or not.Some people would disagree ,but if someone can benefit why not ??

Brits have come up with great talent but they have always had talent . Most of the song writers and musicians group and singers come from Britain and they get famous in the US !

Salamat

that's a great campaign, anglo!
i donated my corneas when i was 18, in fact, it was my birthday gift to myself. then, when i turned 25 i donated officially all my orgaos and skin.
in brasil everybody is a donor by law. if you don't wanna be, you need to manifest.

congratulation to lybia!
