Well Claire, I suppose there are a number of ways of looking at it. I think most people would choose the opt-in incase there are any problems in the arrangements of that donation....the default would always be no donation. However, most people would choose that out of laziness, and they would prefer not to even think about it because they can't be bothered or they are too busy, and that makes it very innefficient and a huge loss to people who need the organs. For the last reason alone I think people should need to opt-out if they wish, but it would have to be adminstered properly so that the opt-out wish was was carefully monitored by double or even triple checks. In doing this a lot more would be available to people from those that would have been ok about it anyway. x

I do talk to families about the organ donation of their lost loved one.

 

Not cos it's my job, but because no one else will do it, some times.

 

I find that a lot of people don't make provision because the alternative is to think about their death.

 

This way, if people feel strongly about it, they can opt out.

 

On the whole, I don't feel the need to hang on to my organs, if I bite the dust...

 

Of course, in my case, I ain't going....
