Proud to be on the register for both organ donation and also Bone marrow donation.

I dont agree with any f*ckwit who says no to donating.....hope you don't EVER need it yourself.

^^this, I think I may be registered but not 100% sure. Once i'm dead I don't need them anymore do I? Although by the time i'm done they'll all be useless anyways  :jumping:. I think they should harvest people in prison with life sentences to save people who need it through no fault of their own.

I am also registered to donate all my organs in the event of my death. It is a morbid thought but the possibility of saving someone else's life with just a couple of mouse clicks is just too sensible not to do!

I'm registered to donate  :smiley: not really going to need them when the time comes and makes the decision for my family. Also registered for blood donation as I'm a rare blood group. If we all did our bit hundreds would be saved.

Your next of kin will give ultimate permission, even if you have a card.

I'm sure sadly, but understandably, some willing to donate don't get the chance. It's very important you make it clear to your loved ones what you want to do and why?

Always had a donor card since I was 18, all my loved ones no my wishes, if there's anything worth having then I hope it will go to help someone  :happy2:

I carry a card now but I'm undecided if I'm opting out or not , reason the current state of the NHS doesn't look like improving soon and I'm worried that bits of me get sold off the people who can afford them to rise cash not people that need them , currently there's a shortage but when this comes in I'm thinking that there will be surplus of some organs , offered to the highest bidder

hopefully someone can clear this up for me  :smiley:

It's about time they did the "opt out" and not "opt in" they have been going on about.

If anyone opts out they should be left to die if they need an organ themselves, f*ck EM!! Same goes for for those that need blood and can't be f*cking bothered to give blood thrmselves.

I regularly donate blood so being an organ donor is a logical step in my eyes. As mentioned already, if I'm dead, what use would healthy organs be to me?!?!?

Recently found out that my blood is allocated solely to the hospitals antenatal unit for some reason - gives me that extra warm fuzzy feeling.
