I am aware of your situation Richard, and had a feeling you may comment on this & I fully understand.
I absolutely hate the thought of me being cut up, and not being buried whole so to speak. I want to be buried next to my gran & granddad whole in the family plot.

I respect your personal wishes, but don't you think they are best served by an opt out?
At present, even if you haven't opted in, in the event of your death should a transplant be possible, your closest next of kin would be asked whether they give their permission for your organs to be donated. Now of course you can rely on them to know your wishes, but an opt out is a definitive decision on what you wanted with no room for doubt in that regard.

Of course not (sorry re reading it I can see why my point didnt come across at all intended)
BTW, are vagina transplants also "humerous"?
No that's the long bone from the shoulder to the elbow.

I didn't take is personally as I know you wouldn't want anything bad for me. If your family are aware of your wishes and you've opted out, then you will get exactly what you want. Me, I hate the thought of being buried, (I'm a bit claustrophobic), I'd far rather the thought of part of me living on somewhere helping someone.

In order to meet the criteria for organ donation, brain stem death must be diagnosed. There are several safeguards in place to ensure brain stem death is established. This takes time and the input of several senior doctors, nurses, and the regional transplant co-ordination team.
Situations where ‘doctors want organs’ and will harvest said organs from patients with life potential simply do not exist.

There is no room for error when diagnosing brain stem death. See my response to [MENTION=31796]alfredmizen[/MENTION]. Trust in the registered, compassionate, regulated, health care professionals tasked with getting it right for all concerned, not least the unfortunate soul in the bed.

I was meaning at some point in the future, thoughts will evolve. Dr's may feel pressured into taking organs before someone dies naturally and relatives might not get to the hospital in time. I know this would not be the case in the near future. Relatives must always be present before a life support machine can be switched off.

To be fair there are quite a few that would be crossed out on that criteria....2nd hand dart board springs to mind.

So in a 'opt out' system, what safeguards will be in place for those without mental capacity? Very easy to remove all children from an opt out system, just determine the cut off age, but a whole can of worms when it comes to mental capacity.
I'm vehemently opposed to an opt out system. It seems to me to be the very worst of state control in our lives to give the state ownership of our bodies unless we sign to say, No. It is a very dangerous move to take to address the current organ shortage. We should concentrate our efforts on mobilising the huge numbers of people who claim to support organ donation but who are not currently on the register. Also, relatives should not have the right to deny the final wishes of relatives that are on the register.

I think in most cases they do wait until the patient is dead before taking the organs.

So you're quite happy to take the 'state control' when treating you in a medical emergency, giving you blood, plasma, maybe even a transplant to save your life, or whatever else is needed to keep you alive, but they're not allowed to take your organs after your death to save someone else?
Maybe opting out should also include opting out of receiving blood or donated organs yourselves?

Take what you can, burn the rest and chuck me outside.
