Organ Donation

There will be an independent review after the NHS transplant authority confirmed 21 cases in which the wrong organs may have been taken from donors.

Up to 800,000 people on the UK donor register may have had their wishes about which organs they wished to donate recorded incorrectly.

Health Secretary Andy Burnham said he regretted the error but it should not stop people from donating.

Mr Burnham said a new system had been put into place to prevent the error from happening again. While many donors give consent for all their organs to be used for transplant after their death, some withhold consent for certain organs - such as their eyes.

However the details of many donors' preferences were wrongly recorded in 1999.

Tbh when I'm brown bread they can take whatever they want.....they did whilst I was alive anyways

Likewise...

Except I wouldn't want any thieving politician to have any of my bits!

It seems a bit ironic though doesn't it that we have lived a lifetime of being told we have choices and human rights when we are alive but this may be disputed in death.

If I decide I want to have my body dismantled and anything that may still be of use after I have gone be sent elsewhere then my family butt in and disagree apparently there is still a conflict which needs to be resolved.

Errr no ...I have signed my forms and formalised my consent. I am of sound mind (and obviously body if organ donation is a possibility ) so tough luck. If we haven't had the chance to 'discuss this' then it should simply be accepted that these were my wishes - nuff said
