I think it's more of an issue if you have some type of clotting disorders vs being on warfarin. But I'm not sure. I bet Tom would have info on this.

You guys are amazing! Less than ten minutes to an answer.

So I guess the answer is ... probably yes.

Thanks Tom!

You're Welcome!!

I left my heart in San Francisco. So I'd say the answer is yes.

Hee hee!

I left my heart in San Fransisco, my liver in Seattle, and my kidneys in Las Vegas. Works for me. By the way anyone who is planing on doing organ donations, please make sure it is stated in your Advanced directives, so the hospital is aware you are an organ donor. God Bless you for being an organ Donor, Giving life is the greatest gift of all and I want to thank all prospective organ donors in advance for that generous gift.
God Bless & Hugs

I think it is great that you are not only interesting in donating your body to science but also, it seems that you are interested in organ donation, too!

Though there are vast differences between organ donation and whole body donation, both are incredibly important to furthering medical research and education and in saving lives. I work for a whole body donation program, Science Care (www.sciencecare.com), and we are one of the few programs of our kind that allows organ donors to also be whole body donors. There are truly immense benefits to society of doing both and I hope more and more people begin to see the value in organ and whole body donation.

If you are interested in donating we like to encourage donors to make sure and inform their family or next of kin of their wish to donate both organs for transplant and whole body donation through Science Care so that both can be coordinated and carried out efficiently.

You can locate your state local organ procurement organization here: http://www.sciencecare.com/pdf/OPO_List.pdf.

One thing I will caution folks about is to make sure and do your research about whole body donation programs. We recommend only signing up with a program that holds to the highest quality and safety standards and, at the least, has been accredited by the American Association of Tissue Banks. You can see the full list of accredited non-transplant tissue banks on their website: www.aatb.org. This is really the only way to ensure that you are donating to a legitimate and ethical organization.

Oh, this post just made me cry, what never happens. I am very into donating my organs when I die. I want to help any one I can and I have been wondering if I could if I had a clotting disorder. I am glad to here it is possible. I tried to sign up to donate my bone marrow and I was denied because of the blood clot. That was so sad, because I just want to help! Thanks for your post:)
