What Do You Think Of Opting Out.......

[Jeza]

Of being an organ donor, instead of opting in.

Personally I don't like it. Imagine the doctors allowing a person to die so that a better qualified or better educated person can live. A scientist say or a cancer specialist or even a member of the Royal family. No I don't like it at all. Please don't say it couldn't happen, stringent checks etc. It will happen we just won't know about it.

[Zacs-Master]

Well, opt out then. If it happens.

I have no probs.re organ donation,not that any of mine'll be of much use after 50+ years of miss ues by me

I don`t have a strong opinion either way but apparently there is evidence that when the policy was introduced in Chile, the amount of donors decreased. What I do think is that there should be a public referendum. The decision as to what people do with their bodies should be their decision and not the decision of a few politicians.

Personally, It wouldn't bother me I've always carried a donor card but I can see why some people might object on various grounds.

[ferlew]

I get the heebie jeebies about eyes, they can have the rest.

[sherrardk]

I'm with ferlew, I'm keeping my eyes. If people are that bothered, they can opt out (not currently a donor myself).

[Zacs-Master]

Exactly sherr. Bit of a non question really.

[ferlew]

I do carry a card, eyes are crossed through, silly isn't it?

[Zacs-Master]

It's the Ts that are supposed to be crossed. Not the eyes. They should be dotted.

[DaisyNonna]

Just opt out Jeza. Would hate to be as suspicious as you. Anything of me that could be of use (not much I suspect) would be available.

[Jeza]

Zac, are you deliberately being awkward. It is a perfectly valid Q where I was asking for the opinion of others.

[Zacs-Master]

No.

[Jeza]

Daisy. Ever wonder why I am suspicious?

[~Wingnut~]

Surely if someone was that worried about it they would opt out?

I wonder how those same people would feel about accepting an organ if they or a loved one needed one.

[sherrardk]

I really don't think that NHS doctors bump people off to provide organs for scientists or members of the royal family.

[Jeza]

I think you've missed my point Sher. I was not for a minute suggesting that.

[237SJ]

"Bit of a non question" Why? I think it is a very valid question.

[DaisyNonna]

Yes, Jeza.

[marval]

I am all for it, I think people should have to opt out. They can have anything of mine that is of any use.

[Zacs-Master]

Because, if you disagree, you just opt out. There's really no need for far getched B movie conspiracy theories.
