Title: Presumed concent for Organ Donations... Post by: STFC Village on Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 17:11:21 Same as you Ben, i've been meaning to sign up for a donor card for ages, but never got round to it. Despite working in a hospital :oops:

Unless they prepare us Halal style. In seriousness though it’s a cracking idea so it’s a yes. Title: Presumed concent for Organ Donations... Post by: ronnie21 on Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 18:06:33 A bit of an emotive subject, I carry a donor card and don't have a problem with it, my wife doesn't have a card and does have a problem with it!! However, as I tell her many times, if you are going to be burned up at the end of your life and a close relative could be helped by using one of your organs what would you choose then? :?
Title: Presumed concent for Organ Donations... Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 18:10:05 I really like the idea of bits of me living on in other people if something bad happened to me. Not sure my Organs are in great shape so can't really imagine who'd want them.

Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 18:35:04 i'd gladly give mine up.
Title: Presumed concent for Organ Donations... Post by: strooood on Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 20:32:35 good thinking this, because all the strange people who really care about their bodies that much are able to opt out and the rest of us can maybe save someone without even doing anything
Title: Presumed concent for Organ Donations... Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 21:03:22 Not fussed what they do, I expect it's more to do with the families of the deceased objecting.
I can't give blood though because I have the aids. Title: Presumed concent for Organ Donations...

Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, 06:02:38 fucking big yay. ive been waiting for a kidney for 2 years. spain is miles ahead of us and they literally have no waiting list.
why do you need your organs when youve gone? Title: Presumed concent for Organ Donations... Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, 08:36:41 Great idea. Anyone who cares that much will opt out. The rest of us will be saving lives.

I'll have your beer eyes please Fred. :soapy tit wank: Title: Presumed concent for Organ Donations... Post by: STFCBird on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, 09:22:59 I think this is a very good thing. When my cousin was killed aged 20, he was a registered donor and he saved other peoples lives. All of whom are still alive and living a normal life.

Title: Presumed concent for Organ Donations... Post by: mattboyslim on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, 11:36:35 Yes from me, I don't have a donor card, but my folks are pro-donation, so would definately consent. I can't give blood for ages now because I have been to tropical places and had all sorts of vaccines, I hate needles though so its actually good from my perspective - once I'm clear to do it I'm gonna make the effort though.

Maybe a slightly dead arm afterwards - although probably not. Plus, you get free tea and biscuits and a warm glow of doing the right thing. |
