Report A murderer's donated organs would be declined out of fear the donor's essence may change personality

[tom_mai78101]

ANN ARBOR—Some people feel so "creeped out" that they would decline an organ or blood that came from a murderer or thief, according to a new University of Michigan study.

In addition, they express concern that their personality or behavior may change to become more like that of the donor, as a result of the donation.

Recipients prefer to get an organ or DNA transplant or blood transfusion from a donor whose personality or behavior matches theirs, said Meredith Meyer, the study's lead author and a research fellow in psychology. People think that people's behaviors and personalities are partly due to something hidden deep inside their blood or bodily organs, she said.

What surprised Meyer and colleagues were that the results from blood transfusions were just as strong as the results from heart transplants.

"Since blood transfusions are so common and relatively straightforward, we had expected people might think that they have very little effect," Meyer said.

For some, it matters who's donating an organ, blood

If I die before I'm old and nasty, I'm hoping to donate my body to an organization that gives people the chance to eat people in a relatively ethical fashion.

Let them skeptical folk get phased out by their own stupidity. If a doctor clears an organ for a transplant, it's about as safe as it gets. No weird drugs or deficiencies in the organs to corrupt our body there.

I'd say if somebody declines a donated organ, cut them from the list. They should not be offered a second chance.
If you are little away from death you shouldnt be picky.

There's nothing stupid about it, kind of way!

Chance to eat people? @ KMilz

Look whos talking again.

You know, you kind of remind me of a famous character from the tv show "red dwarf". He even had a similar name...

Look whos talking again.

Eh whatever. But what? Just because, some people Just "find it creepy" that part of their body will be "inserted into someone else's!". and the other way around. You being a stupid human? Some are scared of dying in the operation. Are they stupid?

They are not scared of dying in the operation, what bs are you talking about? Thats not the topic of the article and has nothing to do with it.

They need a donated organ. They get a donated organ. They refuse to take the organ because of superstitious beliefs.
My opinion: Let them. If they refuse to take the donation, dont give them a new organ. Simple as that.

That's not BS at all. You can't Just "put in a organ" in your body, without operation?
Oh can you? Btw: You can always give second chance. Regardless of their beliefs, It's still a organ from a human. you know.
You think it's so easy?

Look, a new way to win a debate - throw out an argument so confusing, nonsensical and convoluted that there's no way to even respond.

Did you even read my post? What you say does not make any sense at all! (in the given context)

 

[FireCat]

Ah, whatever you say.

Lol, you sound like my girlfriend now. Thats so like every other debate we have.

 

[FireCat]

Thats so like every other debate we have.

One day you "might figure out" Why you and your girlfriend... have such debate. LOL

And again, "Regardless of their belief" Even if they refuse the organ. The organ is from a human! And how do you know.. It wouldn't behave a bit strange? Hmm Murder or not LOL

Yeah, that day was quite a few years ago: I just like to debate.

And again, "Regardless of their belief" Even if they refuse the organ. The organ is from a human!

It doesnt even make any sense?! Where is the context? What are you talking about? It is like you have been reading an entirely different thread then anybody else here!?
I do not understand what you are referring to. If this sentence was supposed to be an answer to anything I, or somebody else, said anywhere in this thread then maybe you should use a quote?

And how do you know.. It wouldn't behave a bit strange? Hmm Murder or not LOL

Hm... let me guess... BECAUSE ITS A FUCKING ORGAN!
It doesnt have a consciousness of its own. Its like a tool, just organic.
If it works, it works. There is no connection to how you feel or think.

Oh dear.... It would make sense if you only wanted to.. And sure sure, It's Just one fuckin' parts from a human.
