Wales organ donors

Listened to news and welsh politicians will be voting on whether to change consent to donating organs after death from opt in as is case now to presumed consent where folk have to specifically have to opt out of donating.

I think it is how it should be everywhere to be honest and realise its an emotive issue.

God forbid it happened but how many of those against it would refuse one for themselves or family member on point of principle.

Personally I think it should be an opt out thing rather than an opt in thing. But really though, how hard would it be to administer? Just get people to opt in or out when they visit their doctor next and have it on their medical record.

If you would be willing to take an organ you should be willing to give one.

I've signed everything over and my family know my wishes.

Opting out makes things much easier to administer organ donation but I have one little worry about consent. Is it really giving informed consent for something (anything) if what happens is assumed consent because you haven't opted out?

As usual, the caring, sharing god botherers are trying to shoot it down as wrong

The best solution would be those that need an organ transplant who were registered donors 6 months or more before they were diagnosed with their condition are first on the list for a compatible organ. If you don't want to donate or can't be bothered to spend a minute of your life to fill out the online form or tick the box on your driving licence application then you should be at the back of the queue and get anything that can't be used by people that did volunteer as donors.

Lickety thats the whole point i think unless you state specifically you do not wish to donate organs then upon death folk in need will benefit.

To give someone chance of living is best thing anyone can give another person.

My mum instilled on us since kids her body was being donated to medical science which upon her death hapoened whilst hard at time am so glad my selfishness was outweighed by her wishes.

I am an organ donor, said they can have the lot....also if needed, I would be a living donor, so if any of my family needed something I can spare, they are welcome to it.

Think it should be an automatic opt in at birth and in order to receive you must also be willing to give.....

I thought its been decided and everyone is in unless they have said "no" to it. Personally I think its wrong. Its not respecting Their families wishes/beliefs, etc. What they should do is ask their next of kin what they want as 9 times out of 10 they will do what the victim wants. Also for legal reasons they should check the will for it and sometimes it happens unexpectedly. So why not just ask the next of kin then?

I've been donating my organ for years

in all honesty, if you don't donate then you're a tit. It's incredibly selfish. how would you like to lose a loved one or friend because people were too stupid to realise their bits will rot and they're nothing better than fertilizer x

I don't have a problem with donation. Everything I have that is of use will be used and the rest can be used for practice by medical students.

My concern is about losing a sense of what consent and donation mean. If it is taken, as a right, that is not a donation. If you don't understand opting out then you haven't actually given consent.

On the other hand, for those families that struggle with the decision after death, when time is really precious, it removes a burden from them.

I fully respect some people do not wish to donate their organs or the organs of family and loved ones.....

But in an ideal world I’d totally support an opt out policy, but I don’t know if I’d be happy allowing a bunch of politicians to take the decision of introducing a nation-wide policy on my behalf,,,,,

It’s the sort of emotive issue I’d prefer went put to a public vote which I realise is impractical, but I just feel its a safer option and one that might encourage more people to consider the merits of voluntary donation...

Personally I think it should be an opt out policy, think the DVLA has an option when using their services and think if its not opt out then get these huge companies asking customers and add to the database, I've seen how emotive this subject can be but the vast majority of the time when it's put to families they grant permission. It's obviously very emotive but if someone has strong views and wishes that their organs are not donated after death then those views will be strong enough to go on the organ donation website and click the box to opt out.

totally agree

maybe they should bring a rule in where anyone who ops out don't get a donor if they ever need help

what comes around goes around

Under the current English system, the doctors/medics in the A&E resus room don't have access to the information that their patient is or isn't on the donor list. The question remains as to whether they would try as hard to revive or resuscitate a near-fatal patient if they have donatable organs. One would hope they employ ALL their ethics in such cases.
