Kathyw Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I am one of those people, I don't really like people en masse that much - I prefer animals and things I would do for animals I wouldn't/couldn't do for people. I kept Grip as clean as if she were able to do it for herself yet I could not do that for a person - I would be retching all over the place. Well I could and would do it for a baby but not a grown up. It's not in my make-up. I never donate or give to people charities only animals. If I was given a similar choioce to Sophie ie save an anmial or a person - there would be no choice - I would chose the animal, it would be impossible for me to do otherwise.

rufus the wonderdog Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 As far as I'm concerned, once I'm dead anybody can have any bit of me that they like that will help them. I'm not going to need any of it. If I believe in any sort of afterlife it is purely in a spiriutal sense and not me, as I am now, walking around.

colliemad Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have carried a donor card for years and have told my family that any part of my body can be used. I really think that you should have to opt out rather than in to the donor scheme. It seems a waste to me that organs cannot be used to save lives. It would also prevent the relatives being asked at a time when they are distressed and shocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also prevent the relatives being asked at a time when they are distressed and shocked But by being asked and agreeing it can help them take a little bit of good out of tragedy and make it easier to come to terms with in time. The alternative is for the state to come stomping in and make them feel powerless at a time they are very vulnerable. It's up to all of us to make sure our next of kin know exactly what we want, even our children. Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 But by being asked and agreeing it can help them take a little bit of good out of tragedy and make it easier to come to terms with in time. But if the next of kin didn't agree with organ donation what then? That would give them the opportunity to override the dead person's wishes. To me that isn't acceptable, it's my body and if I want it to benefit others after my death, then I do not want anyone to be able to overrule me (not that I'll know anything about it, but my body could potentially save several lives).
