As a christian myself I have the same answer as Risa and Jan. For one when you accept Jesus as your savior He asks us to do something for Him and that is spread the word of Jesus. Minister to others, no that doesnt mean push a religion, it just means showing people Christ and telling them about Him. Thats our job for as long as we live. In what i believe as a christian it would be sad if I ended my life jsut to go to heaven sooner and because i did that someone else i could have talked to about Jesus would miss out on heaven.


The other reason is even though I do not fear death I do not want to die yet. I guess that really mean i do fear death, I dont know...maybe its just a peace about death. I am afraid to experience the things cf brings me but I also want to experience all the other things life has to offer, the good things. I would get a transplant in hopes that it went well just so i could run a mile laugh without coughing fits. I dunno its just the way i think.

and by no means by my Christian explanation am i trying to start anything bad, its my beliefs i am not trying to tell anyone they are wrong or anything like that. its just my thoughts and belief.

Heh, reminds me of a great joke I found when a friend of mine got his transplant:
Q: What's the worst part about getting a lung transplant?
A: The first few time you cough, it's not your phlegm...

hahah thats great. Well when I say "it would freak me out", I mean I would start thinking about the person the organ came from, and would want to know more about them, because I literally have a part of their body now in my body that is now keeping me alive. I'd want to somehow track down their info and look into their real life history, family, friends, etc and "get to know them" through those means, and say thanks. I know for a fact I couldnt stop thinking about the person that gave me their lungs.
