it's something a friend of mine created
their goal is to help transplants
due to the shortage of people that wish to donate their organs after death there are still hundreds of people dieing every day
people that had a chance of living if only people knew about it
sadly the media is blind for this sort of stuff se we try anything to get some more publicity for the organisation

a dutch tv program has organised something that allows one organisation to win a tv spot and i was hoping many of you guys could go to the site and vote
it's a dutch site but easly accessible
http://www.beterinbeeld.be/
at the bottem of the page you can click: "bekijk de finalisten en breng je stem uit"
you will be redirected to another page where you can vote for different organisations
i would highly appreciate it if you would vote on the vzw re-born to be alive

i would even more appreciate it if you would try to spread the word about organ donations

thanks in advance

I'm not allowed to give blood or organs because I'm gay.

No it's just the homosexual thing.

That's only relevant if you've had sex with anyone who's infected... it annoys me that they don't recognise this.

I am an organ donor and a regular blood donor. Those of you who aren't, but can, do it, before someone dies!

Not entirely true, i asked about it when i went for my annual HIV tests and they said "Because of your homosexuality, you are unable to give any blood or organs".

Even on the letter (my partner is a organ donor, well, before he was gay) is does state that you cannot give blood or organs if you are gay...

This does also carry on to homosexual women too.

Biologically, it's not possible for you to get HIV/AIDs unless you've shared needles or had (unprotected) sex with someone who has it.

Therefore, regardless of sexuality, if you and your partner are both HIV negative (and neither of you have had sex with someone who isn't), your blood is HIV negative.

Of course, the rules are different to this, I'm speaking theoretically.

I know this, and me and my partner are negative, but it's still strange how they just say no because of our sexuality. >.<

Ironically I am not allowed to give blood or donate organs because I received some blood transfusions during an operation years ago... otherwise I would gladly donate blood on a regular basis. *shrug*

They are always complaining not enough people give blood but a lot of people I talk to they won't take blood from for various different reasons... it's no wonder they can't get any blood supplies when they make the restrictions so tight...

You're restricted because they can't tell how safe the blood you were given was, Dan. :s

(Although, as you're not dead, I'm going to go with "It was probably OK"...)
