Sign Up and Say So!! Are you on the organ donation register?

[Ganymede]

Thank you everyone for your replies! I'm glad to hear so many of you are signed up. If it has been a while it can be a good idea to re-register on the link given https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/how_to_become_a_donor/registration/consent.asp and they will cross-refer to your NHS number and update any details.

This is much appreciated and I am coming over all emotional...

However, on a lighter note, we were glad that the baby who had some of Dan's liver is still well. We were worried it might have developed a tremendous taste and capacity for gin and tonic....

I've been signed up for a long time. They're welcome to any bits of me that could help when I go. I won't have any more use for them after all...

 

[byegad]

Yes a great idea and one I've been signed up to for so long my body is probably no longer any use to anyone, Post Mortem!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

On it, have been for decades but why they would want anything on mine now is anyone's guess and if they can is another matter entirely nowadays!

I've been on the list for years and my family knows of my wishes

I have been on the organ donor list since leaving school. I gave my husband my left kidney in 2008 so my cadaver donation is going to be a bit short of the full quota.

I get quite cross with people who say that they would never go on the donor register but that would take a donated kidney/liver/heart of whatever if they needed to.

I've been on it for a while. I was quite happy for any organ to be harvested but my then ten-year-old daughter said "Not your eyes, Dad". Actually, I think that a fair amount of me is a bit too clapped out to be of any value.

My wife knows my wishes; anyone can have any useful bits

There's the same on my (constantly worn for the past 30 years) 'SOS Talisman', & the additional, http://www.dog-tags.co.uk/about.php that I wear on the bike

I joined donkeys years ago. My family , friends and work collegues all know that if i have no use of a body part and its recyclable and somebody else needs it they can have it .

For once Arrowfoot i agree with you. It should be opt out only.

 

[surfdude]

i am signed up and a blood donor and bone marrow if i am matched up . not sure they would want anything now mind you

 

[tyred]

All signed up. One of my best friends was born with heart condition and was given six weeks to live in 1992 but was fortunate to receive a heart transplant and is alive and well today. Why not give someone that chance if the worst should happen and you no longer need your organs?

 

[theloafer]

All signed up here too ...
