Re: Organ transplants
Just another view on this. Has anyone had to deal with a person whose loved one has died suddenly which means, by law, there has to be an inquest? This, as many may know, involves an autopsy where the deceased person's body is basically dissected to ascertain the cause of death. Well I have witnessed a person in that situation. The emotional trauma a person can go through, just thinking about a loved one being treated in that way, is really awful to see. What they go through emotionally must for them be terrible, and after what is possibly already a very traumatic and emotional event of the very worst kind.It must I believe, be similar if being asked to allow donation of a loved one's organs following their death. OK if the deceased has made their wishes as a potential organ donor known but what if they haven't? I know people who work in this area are specially trained but even so it must be awful for those being asked.
I have agreed to organ donation as I feel we are of no other use after death, if someone else can benefit in their lives then why not is how I see it.

Re: Organ transplants
I've signed up for organ donation . I would like to hope that if I died and I was able to help another family to a better life I might have done some good .I think it should always be a choice .
If people dont want to offer their organs then they wont be given one in an emergency situation that's sounds fair

Certainly, someone in dire need would benefit and, if the 'aged' organ begins to fail, they could replace it with a younger one when it becomes available.

Re: Organ transplants
The one thing that is ours is our body.If people want to donate body after they've died then that's up to them but there is absolutely no way that any part of their body should be taken without the explicit permission and full agreement of their next of kin.
To preclude those who do not express a wish to donate from being offered a replacement organ would be more than unethical.
