Apparently families of registered donors blocked the donation of 547 UK donors since 2010.

I think that is awful that they've gone against the wishes of the donor and I'd be livid if my family went against my wishes.

It's an interesting one isn't it? Should your express wishes cease to count when you die? I'm guessing from a legal perspective it's all sound and acceptable but should a living relatives wishes override the wishes of the deceased?

Both my son and I will donate everything but our eyes and we are both aware of each others wishes

The other half and I were writing a will last year and we got down to some odd nitty gritty surrounding funerals and after death stuff.

She said she'd donate all her organs to whoever needed them. I said they could have whatever was left of me that was still working - except for the corneas, I have a bit of a thing about my eyes.

She shot back: "Is that so you can see Hell?"

Being on the organ donation register has no legal standing, it's still the next of kin who has the final day in these circumstances.

Best thing to do is to talk to your next of kin about your wishes and explain reasoning for it to them so they understand why you wish to do it.

I've donated everything apart from my eyes, Death freaks me out at the moment I have a huge fear of death...

My brother was on the register. He was 17 when he was killed in an accident. By the time they found my mum it was too late to harvest them as they still needed to get her permission.

I've donated everything. I'd like to think,if my eyes are usable when I die,someone will see the world through them when they couldn't before.

its a difficult one

its the people that are left behind that are left to cope and some people just cant cope with the thought of their loved ones being cut up

i lost my son when he was 20 month old and i allowed them to take any organs that were usable, because of his illness not everything was

i remember a woman saying to me i'd never let them cut my baby up if he died i love his far to much

sadly thats how a lot see it

they dont see it as saving a life they see it as a lack of love and respect for your dead loved one

little house on the praire

I'm donating everything and everyone is aware and I'd like to think my family have enough respect for me to carry out MY wishes and not override it with their selfish ones

Mind you all my family are donating everything anyway so there would never be an issue

i always wonder these people who refuse to let their children be donors would they allow their child to accept an organ if needed

Thought it be higher actually. When the chips are down its hard to let the person go like that for the surviving family.
