Health & Organ Donation



Guess my weight contest begins. :) Submit your answers in the comments section!

Building a nation of fit and healthy Singaporeans So now im putting myself under great torture!

While a minority group might find the ramifications of the Singapore Organ Donation legislation horrifying, I beg to differ. Organ and tissue transplants offers others a new chance at healthy and productive lives. It also returns an individual to their family, friends and the society. Within all of us is the power to change someone's world by being a donor. It's about life. [Speaking of which, im long overdue for a blood donation, and have yet to volunteer for Bone Marrow donation! *covers face in shame.] Yet, there is a shortage of organs for transplants (say a 7-9 year wait for a kidney transplant), which has led to a thriving black market to meet demands. Would you put one of your kidneys on black market bid? Here's a few factor's i'd take into consideration.

maritial/dating status, number of children(if applicable), sum of money 'compensated, overall health, family medical history, laws governing such trade, etc. and am so lazy to elaborate on these points.


Am so lazy to write. Be back later!

GUESS MY WEIGHT

Timothy said...

Hmm...your weight should show up as...

Two even numbers in increasing order. The individual halves of the numbers would be in consecutive order.

Tim: 46 is wrong!

:D

Yas 'quoted' 43. Wrong!

Timothy said...

Your weight is...

Two non-consecutive numbers, odd followed by even. If their places were reversed, and a decimal point placed in between, it would mark the median of the first number.

A combination of the two individual numbers would produce a number made famous by two Brits with surnames starting with the 2nd letter of the alphabet.
