A few years ago I had the local tag agency place myself on the donor list for medical science. Although, I seen a science experiment on television on a heart. Then to my dismay I seen how many organs they actually use and how many they throw away. I was completely shocked! How can they just throw away perfectly good organs that had been preserved? I didn't think that did anyone, not even science any good. So they next time I had to renew my license I didn't place myself as a donor. I believe that God does everything for a reason, and if it's our time; then can we really play God? I would just soon die and be buried with all my organs in place. Having a miscarriages is different though they do need to do more research on babies that make it for 3 or 4 months and then they die. This is something that science could figure out, instead of trying to experiment on aged donor-ed body parts. Maybe the child died from something very simple, but these parts probably don't get used either. What is the point? If they made progress with the study of stem cell research then maybe they should try and figure out why or what happens to these children that are so prone to die in the hands of a cover up. Dateline had a special on this subject and I was just mortified. People should have the right to either donate their body part to go into another body right away; or they won't use this part.
