Organ Donation Opt Out, what say ye?

I think there is a concern that, Like a car, If one is badly damaged, the medics might conclude that you are worth more broken for spares than being repaired. and that they might go to rather less effort to save you if there are people actively waiting for organs that you are a good match for.

That is some crazy level conspiracy theory, haha
 
I wonder what you'd think if it was a kid of yours that died specifically because of someone just like you.
What a stupid thing to say.
They are already going to die. They survive because some one chooses to donate their organs.
But they will never die specifically because some one refuses to donate.
I hate this backwards thinking society crap.
 
Paid into what system? This is to do with organ availability, not NHS funding.

No but NHS funding is what makes that available organ useful. You can't simply turn someone away.

What if a donor card holder has never put a penny into the NHS, never worked a day in their life. Why should have preferential treatment over someone who has paid their dues, helped fund the staff, technology that allows organ transplants?

Have you given blood lately? No? No blood transfusion for you if needed in an emergency.

Its a ridiculous idea at best.

Already on the list and agree that people should 'opt out' rather than 'opt in' as people tend to forget about doing it or just can't be bothered to fill out the form.

We don't need our organs when we die so there is no reason for them to be re-used if they're still functional.
 
Right. So someone could be driving like a bell end for a multitude of reasons. They could be a bell end. THey could have had a bad day. They could have a wife going in to labour. They could have soiled themselves. Anything. If you think this is reason enough to deny someone an organ which could save their lives, then you sir, are a moron.

Are you trying to justify your lack of concern for other road users and willingness to drive like a dick and put other road users in danger by any chance? Because your pathetic excuse for a reason is not why the vast majority behave like idiots without any care for anyone else. If people don't care about people when they are alive, damned if I give a toss if they are dying.

Nope, can you explain how you come to this conclusion?

wat

If most people are donors, then you are worth FAR less as a spare part because there are plenty of spare parts to go round...

Post reported. You are attributing a quote to me that was somebody else entirely.

And is utter rubbish. You got any idea how much testing and cross matching needs to occur.
 
I won't opt out but I can clearly see why people might.

Should the state have rights over your body? It does feel like infringing on personal freedoms to say your body belongs to the state unless you opt out. It's certainly not a classical Conservative policy that is for sure.

Well it's not as though you need it is it.

If it were the case they'd force everyone to donate marrow on command then I could understand that but it's not.

That's my line of thinking. Having your body as property of the state by default creeps me out. Opt in sits much better with me.

This. So much testing needs to be done that people are often called to the hospital and prepped while all the testing is going on. Then, they can be told “no, sorry, the organ is unsuitable” and you have to go home.
