Organ Donation

[astral276]

There are murmurings again that 'assumed consent' for the donation of your organs on death is to be introduced.

If this were introduced, would it alter your current stance on what happens to your organs on death? Would you 'go with the flow' and let them harvest you - even if you do not currently consent? If you currently consent would you withdraw that consent on principle?

What happens to those not in a position to make an informed choice?

If you currently consent would you withdraw that consent on principle?

If a person has already consented it would be, IMO, silly for them to withdraw that consent just because other people were being helped to join them.

Agree 110%. I am an organ donor and hope my organs can be of some use when I'm no longer here, assuming any of them are still any good that is.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

If i saw someone drowning i would try to save them, so if my organs saved a life i would rest in peace.

I am registered and will stay registered regardless. My mum only has what little sight she does because 2 people gave up their corneas.

Wow, that is a truly beautiful thing and one of the reasons I am an organ donor. I also donate blood, but I do that for the free cookies.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

When my niece died aged just 21 unexpectedly, the first thing they asked before turning the machine off was about donating organs,Maria carried a donor card so my sister said yes, part of my sister died also.

Months later out of the blue my sister received a letter passed onto her by the hospital from someone that had received one of Maria’s organ.

If you could of read that letter it was amazing to read it thank my sister/family from the bottom of her heart and how it now giving this person hope of a normal life, and how she would able to live to see her children grow.

The letter made me cry, but it also showed mysister that Maria helped others while she was alive and continued after her death.


Surely if more donated more would be cured

They can have my bits as long as they don't shoot me to get at them!
