🤷‍♀️🧙‍♂️ True or false? 🙄❓

Hello Yue, thanks for the topic, my opinion is true because I believe that people can choose for themselves whether they have it done or not. In Belgium everyone is registered as a donor, but you can have this registered at the town hall if you specifically do not want to have that done. I look forward to your answer

I agree on this point. In France we have the same system. Everyone is de facto a donor, but can ask to be registered as someone who doesn’t consent. Personally, if an organ can be given to someone who need it after one’s death (and who accepted), it can only be beneficial and it could be successful.

Thank you very much @Fleurke and @Sabri_KC!! I also want to be a donor but i want that family can also decide. So for example if someone dies it may be very hurting if the family does not want that. But it maybe is also because of a religion perhaps that people may not want it, but i am not sure if some religions are against it.

But if I can choose myself other persons can have my organs. But only when i have died they can get them! 😛

Thank you everybody for writing what you think about the statements in this forum!! 🙏🙏 You can of course keep writing in this forum about the previous statements! 😛 But for the weekend I have this new statement:

➡️ Unless people made a choice before they die and unless their family has a different view, organs can be used for saving other peoples lives when persons die.

This statement I got online because a lot of people's lives can be saved if more organs are donated if people die. BUTTT i think that always the family or before they die the persons can decide if they want it or not.

What do you think about the statement? Do you think it is true ✅ or false ❌

Thank you and have a good weekend!! 😊😊🙋‍♀️

When a person dies, the organs do too and they can't be used anymore. So when the organs are taken, the person isn't dead yet, and I think that's just horrible. So I'm completely against that statement.

Thank you for your reaction @Miss_Penpal!! 🙏🙏 But the organs can actually be used if somebody dies. BUTTTT only if they are used quickly for a transplantation. So there is not time for a lot of discussion about that. And there are now not enough donors and people who are very sick have to wait a LONGGG time for a donor and some dont get it in time. So it does save lives. BUTTT are there other reasons not to do it for example if the family is very hurt and they dont want it or because of religion. If they do agree and if it is in time after somebody does, it can save lives. So that is why i am FOR the statement, but only if the person is a donor and has agreed about it. Or the family has to give approval in my opinion. 😊😊

This is another hot topic!
In Germany, organs can only be donated by people who have previously consented to organ donation. These people have an identity card that confirms this. And the brain death of these donors must be confirmed by at least two doctors. In the case of brain death, breathing and the cardiovascular system are artificially maintained. If the machines were switched off, the organs would no longer work. The person therefore does not die as a result of the organ donation.
Whether you are in favour or against is a really difficult decision, which also depends on many other things...for example religion.
I haven't made up my own mind yet.

Thank you very much @mabah!! 🥰🥰 I think for us we dont have that identity card but it is in a register online that the hospitals can see. And you can register it there. And it is very good that you write that you haven't made up your mind yet. I think i want to register if my parents give permission for it. But it is also scary a bit the idea maybe. I hope that maybe this forum helps that you know what you want to decide!!

@Etienne, @Lianshen, @Simone724, @Pennarossa2024, @H_E_A_R_T what would you choose? Would you become a donor or do you prefer not to do that? Both choices are difficult I think but it is important topic for the forum I think. But not easy one!! 🙄🙄

Well in Islam it’s totally permissible to give organs or blood to people in need for them, as long as it doesn’t cause the donor’s death. For other religions I’m not sure though.

This choice is not difficult to me, of course i'd like to be a donor, without any doubt! After i die, my corpse would be useless; instead, if some of my organs may help other people to feel better and heal from some disease, it would be great!

Sorry, i saw it right now! What do you mean by help?? Financial help??

Financial help

Thank you very much @Sabri_KC! I think maybe every religions will say it is good because you can save the life of others. So i expect it is for all religions. And @Simone724 I think that is very good what you said and I agree and also want that. But my parents have to also agree with that i think. But i dont know the register rules now. 🙄🙄

And also thank you @Parsaa for what you wrote. It is very sad i think if so many people from Iran leave. And I think they dont get back to Iran after they get their degree right? Because of what you said about the machines and the salary. Would you go to another country to study if you can later maybe? 🧑‍🎓🎓🎓

Today I did not make a new statement myself but it is from our society class so I copied it what we discussed about:

➡️ Because Trump is the new president in the US it is important that we help the EU to be stronger.

Our teacher in society class said that if you have a stronger EU than you are not so dependent on the US and countries cant do that alone so you have to cooperate.

What do you think about the statement? Do you think it is true ✅ or false ❌

First of all, I'm curious about your discussion in the 🏫. I'd be very interested to hear how young people feel about the situation. Personally, I think that in the long term all nations have to work together, whether they want to or not. Of course it would make sense for Europe to become stronger. But even that is difficult. This process itself will be exhausting and painful. Trump will probably continue on the path of protectionism...that will be an immense feat of strength.

➡️ Because Trump is the new president in the US it is important that we help the EU to be stronger.

The EU definitely needs to be stronger yes, but the only way it can become stronger is by starting to consider its own interests, as well as massively remove countless regulations it has implemented over the last few decades. We're doing the exact opposite. The US cares about its own interest, as they rightfully should, and as we should do

Thank you very much for your responses @mabah and @Etienne!! 🙏🙏 We had a very strange discussion in the class. Our teacher hates Trump and he started by saying that and normally he only says what we discuss about and explain it but he does not say his own opinion first.

And there were almost everybody who was for Harris and four for Trump. But when they teacher asked why they did not know it but they said that Wilders was for Trump and they support Wilders. He is a politician from The Netherlands and he is very right in politics. I dont mean correct or not correct but what he thinks. 🙄🙄 And I said with 4 other persons I dont know. But they said it because they dont care about it. That is different. I said i dont know because I dont know Harris. And I think it is not good if you support somebody only because you dont like Trump. So if I dont know enough about what she wants i said it is difficult to know if that is better or not than Trump.

But I do think that A LOTTT what Trump says is really bad. For example about he understands that journalists can be treated with violence sometimes. That was on the Dutch news two days ago. And he also said a lot of other things that i dont agree with at all BUTTT that is only what we read in the news and I dont know enough about it more precise.

For the EU the most said that it is important to make it stronger. And the teacher was surprised because a lot of people dont like the EU or dont trust it, but in our class it was the biggest majority. BUTTT some said they were against the EU because of Wilders and he hates the EU. And because they said the EU is only for south European countries. But I dont think that is true. And if the EU is stronger you dont have to depend on America or other powerful countries because you have a strong Europe. That is a lot better I think. 🙂

But when they teacher asked why they did not know. (...) And I said with 4 other persons I dont know. But they said it because they dont care about it. That is different. I said i dont know because I dont know Harris. And I think it is not good if you support somebody only because you dont like Trump. So if I dont know enough about what she wants i said it is difficult to know if that is better or not than Trump.

What you said is very important! You should never feel forced to say something you feel you don't know enough about (whether it's politics or any other subject - it applies to everything). Most people fall into that trap. You should always take the time to do some research before forming your own opinion, and equally importantly, you should research the primary source of information (ie: somebody sharing quotes or edited clips are not enough, always refer to the original full unedited source!). It can be overwhelming at times to go through so much information, but it's how you can become smarter!

"And because they said the EU is only for south European countries". What?

Thank you @Etienne that you said that!! Merci! 🙂 But sometimes it is difficult because i dont know if later he maybe gives a lower grade because i said i dont know it. But with the discussions every week it is impossible to know everything about it every time. And I dont want just to say what everybody says or just say something that i dont know really. That would be more bad i think.

And @Pennarossa2024 it is only what some say in our class about south Europe but i dont agree with it at all. I think they just say what Wilders and others say and copy it maybe. 🙄🙄

I have a new statement to test and I am very curious what you think:

➡️ Dreams tell more than that it is just random about everything. They can tell the future or they can tell important things that happened and you think about that with dreaming. 😴😴✨✨

What do you think? True ✅ or false ❌ ?
