Organ donation ought to have been opt out anyway IMHO, so many organs going to waste. I'm sure next of kin will still be able to 'object' however.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

The Spanish seem to have a organ donation system that works pretty well.

Well Theresa's big speech went well then (apart from losing her voice, being handed a P45 and the scenery falling down behind her....)

About time on organ donation, if it ever happens. She just need to hire some doctors , nurses and hospitals to do the surgery. She has a tendency of announcing things she can't or doesn't deliver (e.g. the energy price cap again...) Suspect she won't be around for long and all this will soon be forgotten.

It's the Tapas system :D

Not sure why any potential adult donor would object unless on religious grounds or just ill informed . You're dead yet could still help someone who isn't.
The hospital isn't going to treat you any less well when you're ill just to get their hands on your organs.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

So not donation any more then

no we are switching to grave robbing

No need to be melodramatic, harvesting is a better term imo

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

I'm sure it'll be made clear where the opt-out option is for those that don't want to donate their organs when they've no further use for them.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Hopefully those that opt out will be low priority if they need an organ.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Having known several nurses that deal with this everything will be explained to the deceased persons relatives in a very tactful and considered way and then it is up to the relatives of the deceased to decide their course of action.

lets hope so if Dewhurst are running the NHS

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Do you need your organs when you're dead? Seems rather wasteful when others do need them.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

that depends on your religious leanings ,my objection is taking without consent just reduces us to meat i don't believe the dead should be used this way unless they have given consent while alive . Assuming consent is wrong in my opinion having to opt out doesn't work for me , when you open someones wallet and find a donor card that means they made a special effort to donate .

Being selfish I just wonder if my transplant will be any quicker.
