Rahul
Bose
has
announced
that
he
will
be
signing
up
for
donating
all
his
organs.
Speaking
to
IANS,
he
said
that
he
will
be
donating
every
organ
of
his,
from
bone
to
tissue
to
cornea,
which
can
be
used
by
other
human
beings.
Rahul
said,
"I'll
pledge
every
square
inch
of
my
body,"
adding
that
he
will
be
making
the
donation
formal
on
September
24,
when
he
will
be
participating
as
a
panelist
at
a
discussion
organized
by
CII's
Indian
Women
Network,
and
Yi
(Young
Indians)
Delhi
Chapters
in
New
Delhi.
Explaining
his
motive
behind
the
decision,
he
said,
"It's
very
simple
for
me,
I
take
any
way
by
which
I
can
help
human
beings
lead
a
better
life...
I've
dedicated
the
last
14
years
of
my
life
to
these
causes,
and
supporting
many
other
causes
in
a
smaller
way.
So,
if
I
can
help
other
human
beings
(by
donating
organs),
why
wouldn't
I?"
He
added,
"If
you're
going
to
die,
(and
post
that)
if
your
body
can
be
used
to
benefit
8-9
other
human
beings
in
terms
of
organs,
what
would
be
greater
good
karma."
Talking
about
the
organ
donor
to
organ
receiver
statistics,
he
said,
"It's
so
unpopular
right
now...
In
India,
there's
one
organ
donor
per
1
million
people,
whereas
in
Spain,
there
are
49
per
10
lakh
people."
He
also
urged
people
to
find
out
more
about
organ
donation,
and
give
this
act
a
thought.
"I
would
encourage
other
people
to
find
out
more
about
it,
allay
their
fears,
superstitions
and
irrational
beliefs.
Only
when
you're
satisfied,
they
definitely
should," he
said.
