Reply to: Hey Zeity have you opted out?

It wouldn't work in Scotland, everything would be pickled.

The Scots would have an opt-out option due to the fact that it would probably take one of us to discover just how to perform the procedures anyway.

I'd opt in so I could be put in the body of a bloke better looking than me.

Plenty of scope for that.

or deep fried.

Do they do brain transplants yet?

Hats off to the Taffs. It makes perfect sense to utilise perfectly healthy organs, as opposed to burning or burying them so wantonly.
People ought to reflect more on how this practice might help one of their loved ones rather than obsessing about how it might adversely affect them should they lose a loved one.
Way too many selfish people in the world these days it seems.

Not in Wales, have carried a card and been on the register all my adult life (which is a feck of a long time these days), but if they change it to presumed consent here, I will immediately opt out - I am not property of the state so they can flip off.

We could have guessed that saving someone's life would come secondary to showing what a cock you can be.

Stuff I heard and read about it yesterday is that if your family still refuse they won't take your organs out.

However please note unless you die when you are old and not in suspicious circumstances some pathologist is going to chop you up and throw your bits around anyway.

(And yes I'm on the donor register but I'm in England and don't ride a motorbike.)

Family cooperation is required to take a social history (have you ever sold sex for money or drugs etc.), so the family can always frustrate donation.

Most donors don;t come from trauma but from bleeds in the head so you're in with a chance.

personally I'm in favour assuming they can ensure those that opt out aren't accidentally included.

I think its laziness that we don't all sign up.

However I think it would be better if you are asked when you registered with your doctor & every few years when you turn up.

There is a reasonable chance that the opt out will have the opposite effect from the desired one.

I agree 100%. When you are dead you are dead adn you don't need the bits that get put into landfill or turned into dust. Why not just let any of the bits that others can use be taken?

Find it on Youtube. Copy the URL from the top and use the little cinema icon when putting a post up (inbetween image and quote) and embed it using that.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to northernladuk again.

I didn't realise I had. Anyway, thanks, I feel a bit less of a numpty now. I'd used that option but was using the URL given by the share option on YouTube.
