With my passport renewal today I had a leaflet about registering as an organ donor. I don't know why we can't all be donors unless we opt out but no doubt it is to do with civil liberties etc.
Any way i have registered via
https://www.uktransplant.org.uk/ukt/

I know that some of you haven't many organs left worth donating, but worth a mention. You never know when a friend or relative may need a donor.

When I was sending off for my full driving license (nearly two years after I passed - oops!) there was a question asking whether I would want to donate my organs. I agreed but felt weird about it afterwards. Hopefully someone will benefit when I die Smiley

Because it's wrong, you should choose to opt in not out.

Simply because people forget, put off things, don't believe it could happen to someone near and dear.

So you're not saying donating is wrong just the idea of "opting out"?

Even though I'm on the transplant list for a kidney I think I agree with opting in.

I'd rather people make a conscious decision to donate plus a lot of religions and cultures don't agree with organ transplants.

No i have no problem with it at all for me, i myself have a card but i would not like my kids to have one.
Rightly or wrongly just the thought of my kids having their organs "harvested" upsets me greatly, i know that folks will say "but what if your kids needed a transplant?" etc. and i understand the argument i just couldn't cope with it personally.

Can understand your feelings, but I would only apply opt out for adults and leaving kids to parents as it is at the moment.

Opt-out when you're old enough to vote - 18.  Opt-in before then.  Surely that's the simple solution?

I for one could not give a toss what happens to my remains when I'm dead.  Cut up and used for medical science, dog food, landfill - not my concern once I'm dead.

Funny you should say that..as I just had a call from the good people at PAL Medical school and they're stopping by your place tommorow...Now we just have to arrange an...erm accident Wink


I filled in one of them donor cards and someone stopped by to get my hair.... Sad

The rest they had no interest in as "It's either too tiny or doesn't work...and somethings are both!"...Not a nice thing to hear I'm telling you...although apparently my scrotum is the size of a 6YO's
