Bone Marrow Donation

Do you think it's right that the person who receives you're donation remains anonymous?
I'm donating today out of good will hopefully saving a man's life.
All I have been told is that he is a middle aged man from the UK.
I believe I should know who I'm donating to, as the man who's receiving knows all my details.
What do you think chaps?

PS. Anybody who ain't on the register should do so! There is a huge demand!

This is the reason I wouldn't donate.

Don't really see why you'd need to know. You should be donating selflessly or not at all. I routinely give blood and I'm on the marrow (and organ) donation.

I cant imagine for one moment that the recipient knows all your details.

also why would you want to know who your donating to?

As stated im doing it out of good will, hopefully to save a life.
There's just a minute thought deep in my head, hoping it doesn't go to a scumbag!

Just wanted to here people's views

I cant imagine for one moment that the recipient knows all your details.

also why would you want to know who your donating to?

What if its donated to a paedophile/rapist or murderer?

Thats my point! There's always gonna be that minute chance!
I understand why you aren't told too much info, but I think if it's something terrible the donor should be informed!

The human rights act & confidential laws etc shouldn't stand with scum as they lost their rights when they committed the crime.

Hopefully it will save a good man's life

I cant imagine for one moment that the recipient knows all your details.

also why would you want to know who your donating to?

What if its donated to a paedophile/rapist or murderer?

well thats the luck of the draw but then who are you to judge who can and cannot have what?

you are refusing to donate because of the small possibility that your donation may go to a pedophile/rapist or murderer

what happened if you let a young child die or a soldier die because you didnt donate? swings both ways

everybody should donate because its the right thing to do

if you want to know where your donations go then by rights the recipient should know who you are, how would you feel if a recipient refused your donation because your black, or because of your nationality or your religious belief or because of the football team you support.

everybody has the right to life and who the recipient is should not factor because donations are very intrusive especially bone marrow donation and the satisfaction you get knowing you are saving a life is unprecedented.

well thats the luck of the draw but then who are you to judge who can and cannot have what?

Seeing as its my bone marrow I would like the option to know just as those who donate to charity should be able to choose who it goes to so that they can ensure there is minimal chance of their money ending up in the hands of illegal charities or corrupt governments.

you are refusing to donate because of the small possibility that your donation may go to a pedophile/rapist or murderer

No. Im refusing to donate because I truly believe the system is set up to protect these types of people. These types of people would be told to do one if they were known to the person donating hence the need for anonymity.

what happened if you let a young child die or a soldier die because you didnt donate? swings both ways

As someone who doesn't donate that's just the same as most who don't donate. Again, if I knew the recipient I would be far more likely to donate.

everybody should donate because its the right thing to do

Everyone should also have a right to know who is receiving their donation. When I donate to charity I want to know where its going and so forth with many other things in the world.

if you want to know where your donations go then by rights the recipient should know who you are, how would you feel if a recipient refused your donation because your black, or because of your nationality or your religious belief or because of the football team you support.

I'd have no qualms with them knowing who I am and would actively like to meet them, wish them to get better and have a full recovery. If they declined, that is their decision regardless of why. It's not me who wants the bone marrow transplant is it? If they decline its their loss.

everybody has the right to life and who the recipient is should not factor because donations are very intrusive especially bone marrow donation and the satisfaction you get knowing you are saving a life is unprecedented.

So you would take satisfaction in knowing you were saving a paedophiles or rapists life? I wouldn't. I'd feel sick.

I forget when exactly did I get the right to play judge, jury and executioner?

Everyone has a right to life and everyone, with the right treatment can be rehabilitated.

The death sentence is a moronic approach to justice.

Absolute bollocks. Some people just don't want to help themselves.

thats stupid you wouldnt donate and let good people go without based on a small possibility, its not a charity its a service, one day you maybe reliant on somebody who has taken the gamble that you maybe a rapist/murderer. I hope you dont but if you found yourself in need I very much doubt you would refuse a transplant or transfusion because you dont donate yourself. Though im not going to blame you personally because society has this problem and is very selfish and people want is far outweighed by the sacrifice of giving. I can give you loads of examples of parents pleas for help for their poor 3 year old daughter who desperately needs a kidney transplant, I understand the parents desperation what I dont understand is peoples anger as to why this girl cant get a transplant and blame it on modern medicine, what they forget is a 3 year old girl has to die for this 3 year old to get a transplant.

The system doesnt specifically protect these people it protects everyone and their identities under patient confidentiality the same legislation you will be protected under as a donor. There are ways around it its not set in stone if both recipient and donor agree they can meet though the system will assume anonymity.

Would I get satisfaction of saving a rapist or pedophiles life? probably not that id know, take alcoholics after a liver transplant its a 2nd chance and they change their lives you hear these stories all the time. Maybe just maybe you change their lives aswell for the better and they go on to make the world a slightly better place.

That's wrong, if you are so sick in the head to want to rape, do things to little children etc, that doesn't just go away, its in them for life, they might say "im better" to get out of the insitution or prison but they will always be that sick in the head

time after time these scums bags have been sent down or convicted of these discussting crimes they come back out and do it again

im sorry, but they can't change who they are, they are born sick individuals and nothing can change them, only death

Johnny good replies mate. There's a 1 yr old little girl up by me who has leukemia and has just found a bone marrow match against all odds with a woman from germany.
I'd much rather take the chance and donate bone marrow in the hope that it can save a little child like this than withold in case it goes to a peado!
If i give bone marrow and it does go to a peado then so be it. I've done my bit and given someone the second chance at life

Well I'm just hoping for the best. I hope its a success & the gents has a great life.
Well worth 7days of agony to prolong another person's life.
Literally on my way to hospital to start the process.

Fair play to you mate. I have the upmost respect for you. My neice just found a match. We should all go on the register. You never know what's round the corner.

Surely the counselling you received prior to the proceedure covered this , blazing you really are one fucked up individual

Waddle,

Please tell me why im fucked up?
For trying to help safe a man who's somebodies son , father ,brother etc!

so i take it your still waiting to be knocked out to give the donation then at 3:30 in the afternoon , seeing as your in for two days in total they'd better hurry up hadn't they , so you would have known about this for quite a while because you had to have further blood tests counselling etc and you only brought it up on here on the way to the hospital

which procedure are you having done mate ?

why did you answer anyway my post was directed at blazing

Im in St Josephs Newport.
I'm not donating via surgery, im donating via a seperation machine. I've had injections to boost my bone marrow since Friday and will be having a 5th shortly.
I'm donating to a gent who has leukaemia and this method od donation gives him a higher rate of survival!
I have posted about this topic before! I thought I'd post again to raise awareness and hopefully some people who read this will register!

Still never answered my question Waddle!

fair play if you are doing it , but when you try and wind someone up on a regular basis you've got to expect them to do it back especially if they're better at it than you

couldnt agree more

Waddle,

If Ernies tooth here is lying about donating and is just some kind of publicity stunt then shame on him. Though I dont think this is the case.

You may not like the guy I agree some of what he posts can be idiotic at times but I will give him a pat on the back and a well done for thinking of others, thats honourable and we should respect that.
