Organ donation

[mackem1989]

Are you opted in or out?

I was out to be honest but now I’ve said take the lot when I’m gone if it helps that one person!

Someone close to us needed a heart and we were fortunate to get one. I met the family of the little child that had lost their life and donated their heart a family of heroes going through heartache broke my heart! But they seemed so strong and overjoyed they had helped someone!

What strong people!

Got me emotional like I won’t lie!

Any stories from being saved or saving others?

 

[Barry Quizshow]

No story like that but I was always in for it. If what is left when I die can potentially do some good then why not?

 

[Mantobar]

Opt in please
I've had the last 13 fantastic years so far
Probably wouldn't be here without organ donation

I find it a difficult prospect to be honest.

Should be mandatory, no excuses not to (unless you have a transmittable disease.

 

[Chai Relax]

Did they not change it? I thought you're auto in unless you opt to change it.

Unless that's what they were looking at.

I did opt in a few year ago.

 

[Big Toe]

Opted in about 20 year ago. I was young and it felt like something that was so far away in terms of my death. Can’t see me changing it now.

I've always been in, would never have crossed my mind not to be but everyone has their reasons.
I've seen a mate die whilst waiting for a heart transplant. There are so many factors at play so if I can increase the odds for someone, I will. What I hadn't appreciated that even if you get to the top of the list, you may not be well enough to receive a new heart. Then when you factor in compatibility etc, it's amazing that anyone gets one.

I think your family still have to give permission even if you are opted in, that’s why you need to let them know your wishes.

Might aswell grab what you can from me before I go in the fire

Yeah they did but you can still choose what you’d like to donate.

 

[monkeytassle]

I won't need them anymore so take whatever you like. I'm vehemently in.

 

[Snaggletooth]

I'm going through the process/tests of donating a kidney now.
The Mrs needs one ( she's on dialysis) but tests show our blood groups aren't compatible. We're on whats called a "kidney sharing" scheme. Another couple somewhere in the UK may be a match, and the idea is I give one to them, and their partner gives on to my Mrs.
The next "run" of matching is in January....it's done every 3 months, so hopefully we get a match then.

 

[Space Hopper]

I had originally considered being an organ donor, but my heart’s just not in it.

Good luck to you both mate and hope you get sorted , not in the best of health at minute so not even sure my kidneys would be any good. I had to go to dialysis as well every other day so know what your Mrs is going through but sending all love .

I had a penis transplant but my hand rejected it ………

If you wouldn't want to donate an organ but would be happy to receive one if it saved your life or to see someone you love receive one, then you should take a long look at yourself.

 

[Epping]

Always opted in and used to carry a card..

Used to have eyes deselected but now take what you want

 

[VINCENT VEGA]

I'd go further, everyone should automatically be opted in for everything and if you opt out you then go to the bottom of the list for any transplants if you need them. Not sure why anyone should be able to receive one if not willing to give up theirs once dead.

The fuck you on about? You want to punish people for not donating organs? Give your head a shake.
