Have you considered being an Organ Donor?

[Kharille]

Perhaps there will be salvageable silicon 'parts' which are impact resistant and absorbed the massive kinetic forces of a car crash, thus rendering some organs intact in a car crash.

If we're all walking around with indestructive silicon parts inside us, why will we ever need organ replacement in the first place?

Well, the silicon parts help ensure organ survivability in the event the owner is hit by some orbital bombardment.  Perhaps after an air crash you could at least identify the torso through the silicon enhancements.  Y'know, like Shadowrun dermal armour:

I'm not really sure how your speculative fiction relates to modern-day organ donation.

Well, a tattoo of a QR code is just one simple way of tagging body parts so that they can be identified and retrieved easily.  What would be better would be to employ RFID.

It made the news recently:

What is great is that it helps you locate them just in case people missed the body part that is stuck to the ceiling.  We have already managed limb transplants:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_transplantation

We've seen cases of face transplants.  Basically any body part may come in useful, imagine the wonders if we saved one life after an explosion by assembling intact body parts from different 'donors' who conveniently were all caught in the same explosion/accident/plane crash.  Bearing in mind the difficulties of transporting on ice in remote parts of the world this would be a life saver!

Explosions tend to leave the external and internal parts of people rather... shrapnelish though. Or just soup if the concussive force is powerful enough.

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

I agree. I was going to lock this topic, because the conversation has gotten too fruitloops for even the off-topic area of this forum. However, now I'm interested to see how long it takes to die naturally.

Without organ transplants.

Well, they're not that powerful.  Thats why they keep adding nails, ball bearings and cutlery to bombs.  Some people might just get thrown.  It only takes one glass shard to severe an artery.  Course' it would be messier if the guy added a lot of staples and office stationary to their bomb.

I might add, an organ donor card might be shredded, and a corpse might be too disfigured to be identified so having multiple tattoos or rfid tags would help you choose what to keep on ice.

Your posts are scientifically inaccurate. Limbs =/= organs. That's why they call it organ donation, and not limb/face/digit donation.

Skin is the biggest organ in the body.  Think of the skin grafts you can make, the burn victims you can help if you scrape some intact tissue off a wall.  Its part of the Intergu...  inter...  Integumentary system....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integumentary_system

The integumentary system is the organ system that protects the body from various kinds of damage, such as loss of water or abrasion from outside

 

[Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]

"Intact" tissue that you "scrape from a wall" (which is a contradiction in itself) would not be able to be used for skin grafts.

It's no use, Monty. Kharille lives in a reality that has seventeen dimensions, and one of them is skin.

You're spiralling further and further away from sanity, or into science fiction.
Organs to be transplanted must not have been exposed to anything that cause cause infection - dirt, water, bacteria.
Apart from the skin, most organs can't 'live' very long without oxygen, so any person from an accident who isn't braindead with a heart still beating cannot be used for organ donation.
Any disfigurement is useless. (Skin is not the most sought after organ for transplant, and often the person's own skin is used, from another part of the body (thigh e.g.))
The ability to grow/3D print organs will be properly developed before we find a good way of using severed limbs (if at all).

There might come a time - we can hope, I suppose - where organs are 'created' instead of using live donors,
so many people can be spared the agony of donating an organ out of financial woes.

I am sure visionaries such as Leonard de caprio, I mean vinci, gene rodenberry and jk rowling were visionaries living ahead of their time.  Great souls that share their wisdom of the future.  Of course, JK Rowling is long overdue for returning to her dimensional though. 

What if someone has 90% burns?  I know some people will be reaching out for a lead injection in the head but there may be some solution based on reusing parts donated by generous, charitable individials who probably have no clue what horrors that are created by visionaries. 


On that matter.  How many of you are aware of your blood type?  I think a tattoo would be in order, so if someone found your unconscious self and an injured person nearby they might just do an on the spot transfusion.  I think I've seen this in movies where people mark their blood types on helms.  I know saline solutions are an alternative but it only accounts for blood volume.

 

[Adorno]

Typically type 0 negative blood can be given to anyone, and that's what is used in ER's
for critically ill people until their blood type has been established.

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

On that matter.  How many of you are aware of your blood type?  I think a tattoo would be in order because I have a serious tattoo fixation and require professional help.

I agree.

 

[Jhessail]

I haven't actually gotten an organ donor card yet but I am planning to. If my organs can be useful to someone after I croak, all the better.

That was a dirty mind trick.

1) Blutgruppentätowierung, classic!
2) >Kharille the conscious blood donour >tattoo is in order >gets hepatitis from unsterilised equipment >donour no mo'
3) "On spot transfusion"

Dat stache tho...
