    Interesting idea. Although I'm sure there would have to be other crteria. It would be a bit of a joke if George Best got a liver just because he had an organ donor card.

    However I do thank you for pointing out to me, that i was pointing out something and that by pointing out something, other people could percieve that as being me making something out of something else, such as in your example mountains or mole hills or perhaps even cake.

    Yours
    Very :confused:

    Which one are you, Meekus or Brint?

    Should be implemented here along with a reward scheme (of some type) for blood donation.

    There already is a "reward"

    Regular blood donors are exempt from the BTSB "service charge"

    Prioritising organ donors does not discriminate against homosexuals or those whose organs are unsuitable for donation since anyone can register as an organ donor and a decision on the useability of their organs is not made until they are dead (even if unsuitable for transplant they can still be used for research)

    Until the carrying of a donor card overrides the next-of-kins right to decide what happens to someone's organs I won't be carrying a card.
    Why

    You (and I) may disagree with the possibility but your manner of protesting it amounts (at best) to throwing your toys out of the pram and (at worst) amounts denying life saving treatment to one (or more) people in order to make some kind of point ?

    Fine. They can let you die and give the blood to a worthier recipient

    Actually an organ can not be transplanted from a dead person!.

    Although in about a nano second I'll have forgotten about you & can't promise to read your reply, but pray tell all the same.

    No idea if it's been said or not:

    What would stop me signing up and then letting my next of kin know that it's actually just a fraud and they are not to let anyone take my organs when I die?

    Fine, I should give my posts the same attention as a legal document in future. It's rather pedantic to get bogged down in I think. In future I'll make sure to use "MSM" (Men who have sex with Men). Happy? :pac:

    I think it should be challenged anyways.

    I'm not being pedantic, its just the way you were referring to it makes it out to be homophobia when its actually a safety measure.

    You guys are both incorrect! Organs for donation can be harvested from both live and deceased (cadaveric) donors. Obviously only certain organs permit transplants from live donors, the kidney being the best example. Deceased donors are further sub-divided into "heartbeating" and "non-heartbeating", meaning that although they are clinically and legally dead, the heart may be kept beating in order to maintain a healthy blood supply to the organ for as long as possible (heartbeating donor). A non-heartbeating donor would be someone who dies suddenly and has no heart beat at the time of harvesting, a car crash victim for example.
