hey Lillian -
Many people get the restrictions on blood donation confused with organ donation. The only 2 illnesses that catagorically rule out organ donation are CJD and HIV. Obviously other illnesses might prevent you from giving certain organs but it certainly shouldn't create a blanket non-acceptance.
I am hugely into raising awareness about organ donation. My friend and I who set up <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://www.livelifethengivelife.co.uk">Live Life Then Give Life</a> have lost 19 friends between us waiting for tx, I am one of only 4 I know who got one in time. it really is dire over here (UK).
I am on Richard and Judy, a TV show over here tonight talking about the subject, I try and raise as much awareness as poss as I feel I was really pretty lucky to be given this chance that so many don't get, so I need to use it wisely....
