You CANNOT donate skin, this is a myth. Your skin is broken done and scarred.The cost to take skin from a live person than from a cadever is 3 times as expensive as well.

Please understand, you cannot donate skin- it has never happened, its only a myth.

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
