Organ Donation, Presumed Consent.
132 Answers
As the Government discuss changing the law regarding organ donation, are you for or against presumed consent. I have always carried a donor card and am registered, after my death they can have what ever they want. I can see a great benefit to ethnic minorities who are woefully under represented on the register. Can the health service afford all the extra transplants that will now be possible. A few points there, very interested in AB'ers views.

At last - it's been far too long in coming. I hope that the "we still need to ask the relatives" issue gets booted into touch too. All it needs now is the final tweak that says "If you opt out, then you go to the back of the queue if you subsequently need a transplant"

Seems just skin, bone & corneas can be used after death

I am on the donor register, and have also bequeathed my body to Cambridge University medical school. But I can see problems if for example a Muslim gets a Christian heart or vice versa. There are also plans to grow spare human organs inside pigs but Muslims may have a problem with that as well! So will it be one rule for Christians and atheists and another for Muslims?
// It does affect the drugs you can have while you are dying and your own dying process.//
no - it doesnt - the drugs given to someone dying is not related to what the organs will be like .... you will be completely unsurprised to learn that the law and morals state that the treatment of a person (who i agree is later er dead) is dictated by his condition and nothing else.
just a little tweak there to the discussion
clearly this doesnt apply to ISIS - who seem to have harvested organs from living prisoners who then died a few minutes later - nor once you have been found to be dead by two doctors prior to organ harvest.
works well in wales
it is not hit and run - clearly some people are gonna be unsuitable altho look OK -
