Health is wealth, the entire human body is precious. You cannot create the simplest of the simple body part in the most sophisticated lab anywhere in the world.
The entire body is the most amazing gift that mother nature has given us.
We are very fortunate that we live in an era where we can embrace organ donation and in a way enact mother nature and recreate the magic by gifting organs to the needy.
Some people are against organ donation and give various reasons on practical emotional and spiritual grounds.
Practical reason: They say that if you pledge for organ donation the doctors may not give hundred percent in curing you. Doctors who are true to their profession good will fight for your life even when your dead by giving you CPR. So this argument does not stand true if you are dealing with genuine doctors. If the doctors and not genuine then may god have mercy on you.
Emotional reason: people don't want to see there loved ones in a distorted body when they are dead. I find that this is a pretty baseless argument as there are many situation where bodies are cut open when there is a need to do postmortem or if the person. In that case you cannot comment on the state of the body received.
Spiritual ground: people say that spiritually it is not good to donate organ. I believe that what good is that spirituality if it is restricting you from doing Noble work.
Now lets see why you should donate organs.
As mentioned earlier, each and every part of human body is precious and cannot be created artificially. And once a person is dead, the entire body gets destroyed, by the process of decomposition once buried. The only way to preserve these organs is by donating. This will help the needy person in enjoying the benefits of the organ donated.
At present, there is a huge gap between the probable organ recipients and organ donars. This deficit gives birth to a very evil phenomenon of organ trading and organ harvesting. People from all age groups are kidnapped and murdered just to meet the requirement of organs.
This is very in-humane and the only way to stop it by practicing organ donation. When organs will be available directly from the donors, there will be no need to get them from organ trader / harvester.
My experience of donating my Father's eyes:
My father strongly believe in organ donation. He was a strong believer of this idea and has infact pledged to donate all his organs.
The sight of he filling in the form of eye donation triggered a thought of his death and hence made me nervous Sensing my feeling he said that filling in this this form is like mentioning a nominee while opening an account in the bank.
In his exact words "Bankers ask the nominee not with the intention that they want to see you dead but their intention is to know that who would you like to keep the beneficiary of your last cheque that will be drawn on my account."
Unfortunately that moment arrived when he passed away on 30th November 2016.
My mother was at home when he took his last breath and rushed him to hospital. Even in that state of shock, my mother fulfilled the wish of my father and advised the doctor that my father wanted to donate his eyes.
Loosing him, was like loosing world for us. He was the foundation of our home and we were missing him a lot.
On his first death anniversary we all were very sad and missing him alot.
In the afternoon door bell rang and there was letter addressed to him.
We were all curious about it and were eager to find our who could have send it that too exactly after one year.
With great curiosity I opened the envelope and found certificate expressing gratitude towards my father for donating his eyes to the needy.
Suddenly our thought process changed. He has never passed away from our thoughts and we still feel his support when we think of him.
Now with this certificate, we all realized that some part of him is still alive somewhere near us!.
This reduced the burden of loosing him.
I am narrating this experience just to motivate you to embrace organ donation.
Sharing the certificate which my father received. His last certificate which is a proof that some part of him is still alive somewhere near me.

Wow brilliantly written and even more, a very noble message behind the blog. I am sure everyone who pledged to donate and had donated, their family must have this feeling of they still being in this world even when they had left the world. Just like your feeling Mangesh. Well written. You should write more.
