On another forum I use, one of the the other users has had lifelong health problems, leading to a Kidney transplant. He now does a lot for charities, raising awareness and money etc.


I heard that the NHS were thinking about changing the Opt in Donor scheme that exists now, to an opt out scheme, where everyone is a donor at the time of their death, unless they opt out.

I think it would be a much better idea, because with the current Opt in scheme, people put it off and put it off, and never end up registering. This way, people who don't mind, and people that want to give a gift of an Organ to continue somebody else's life.
Because, afterall, and god forbid, you ever were in need of a transplant, and the surgeons found a Donor, you wouldn't put it off.

It also gives those that are total against their organs being used after their death, can opt out, and be reassured that they their wishes are kept as.

Personally, I have no objections to my organs being used, if it saves lives, and brings better quality of life to those that need them.

What do you think?

I'm already signed up for Organ Donation 

There a surprise... 

Funnily enough me an my maw were talking about this not so long ago and i told her i defo wanted to be an organ doner. My maw wasn't so keen.. like what Jimmie said she would follow someone about if she knew they had my eyes.

I'm all for that idea to Dono.
