Correct answer: Liver

Smidget0223, same with me. lots of people who don't understand it, think all that first. but WE know better.
Be an organ donor, a blessing even after your gone.

I am currently recovering from an auto immune response from being on long term, low dose, antibiotics which nearly wiped my liver out, the doctors told my husband that if I hadn’t been admitted for two more days I would have died, I am so thankful for the doctors and nurses that looked after me during my 4 month stay in hospital. I have every respect for all their hard work. God bless the NHS

NewLiver031716, my stepson was a donor. Saves two people with his liver alone.

PrincessThompson815, all that is true, on 3-17-16, I did receive a new liver. I had auto immune hep. of the liver for 15 1/2 years. I went through infections, mrsa, fluid retention, no regulation of body temp. and yes finally cancer which, in my case was a blessing. I received it 3 months later. and since then it has been the most perfect gift I have ever received. Your mom was a hero who guided the way for for for people like me. bless her.

Hep C is just as bad as HIV. My Mom died from Hep C from a blood transfusion she had as a baby in 1957 before they tested blood. It is a blood disease. You die from liver failure unless you are fortunate enough to get a new one.

PrincessThompson815,
I don't know what they tell you in the USA, but hepC is both treatable and is non life threatening in Australia.

GatorMama2014, There's a treatment called Harvoni which is very effective , I know because in a matter of 1 month I became undetectable , now back in 1998 I did the interferon injections and that was Really Bad ( side effects ) insomnia , mood swings , and really bad chills for about 45 min after the dose , Best treatment is Harvoni and the company will work with you if you can't afford to medication
trouble for mayhem
NewLiver031716, I too had a liver transplant from having an autoimmune disease in 1993 the disease return then in Dec of 2000 i had another liver transplant along with a kidney. On the 29th of Dec it will have been 18 years.
I am so sorry about your mother. PrincessThompson815.
Continued Blessing to you NewLiver031716.

The liver, with it's many life improving and life extending processes is as vital as the brain and heart.

Peach , not necessarily. my dad was an alcoholic and his was pristine when he died of something unconnected. genes obviously play a big part.

Snootybubbles48,
I’m sorry for your loss, but he is still living on in the people he has helped. At least that is how I think of it. My husband had a terrible head injury when he was in his late twenties and the doctors didn’t think he would make and he was a donor. Knowing that was the only thing keeping me together, thinking he would live on in someone else.
