Donor Register

[kinboshi]

the bone marrow thing takes a LOT of erm..dedication so to speak. My Nephew was a donor for my uncle..and man that did not look comfortable. I give blood (aswell not as often as I should really but giving blood in this country is a pain in the arse..why not just have blood drives?..anyways...as often as I remember to) I would really have to know someone to go through the bone marrow thing though.

Yes, that's pretty much my feelings on it too.  It's a hell of a commitment for a stranger - and probably beyond the levels of my generosity.  My hat goes off to those who do it though.

They take it from my arm whenever I've given blood...

I am uncomfortable with people cutting me up when I'm dead to save another person life.

I find that thinking quite bizarre personally, but in today's society, not surprising sadly.

I gather then that if you will be in need of a transplant you will kindly reject an offer....

Spare A thought for the feelings of the young registrar,who has to approch the bereaved ,at a  time when they may have lost a loved partner,child or other family member. To ask them weather they would allow their deceased love one's organs to be removed to enable someone else to live a full life.

The task is often beyond them, and far to upsetting therefore the useable organs often stay with the body.

The sooner an opt out system becomes the norm, the sooner vital lifegiving Organs help extend a needy persons life, rather than being cremated or buried.
