Organ donor opt out

pgj2015

I am an organ donor, have been for years but there is something about this that im not comfortable with, im actually thinking of opting out because I think there is something very off about this.

Why? Does the fact that there are hundreds of people awaiting organs not make you think this is a good idea or do you think that Leo is just wanting to harvest our organs for a big "eat the rich" type banquet?

For the record, I've carried an organ donor card for a number of decades and also gave blood and then platelets (until a health issue unfortunately put an end to that).

What would be the conspiracy?

It's a process to increase organ donation.

What do you think is off about this? It's already a thing in the UK https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/uk-laws/ and internationally https://www.ibanet.org/article/b6f71d2a-5213-4a23-ba59-66725a132d87

In addition, it isn't a mandatory scheme - it's just opt out rather than the previous opt-in

Yeah, couldn't the NWO just "accidentally" opt everyone in to get at the sweet sweet adrenochrome?

What on earth is wrong with you? Why even potentially risk the life of a recipient, with nonsense like this?

Posts like this are dangerous and can grow like the antivax morons ideas and their absolute fake science basis.

Are you going to opt out of any future receipt of an organ you may require?

pgj2015

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121820688#Comment_121820688

Because im not naive, and I don't care if the UK and other countries have an opt out system, that doesn't mean it is right.

In general I wouldnt trust most Governments, I know the person is dead but these are your organs we are talking about, its very arrogant of the Government to do this in my opinion. and what will the next step be? that they will take your organs from you when dead even if you dont want that?

You mean the government that is already entrusted with providing the entire country with healthcare, are you on a private only healthcare system that sources orans privately?

What's to stop them taking organs without the proposed approach.

Well I don't want to make it easy for them.

this will backfire on the Government in my opinion.

What difference does it make op. You will be dead, you won't know about it!

Make it easy for what? It will back fire on people who need organs, and hopefully they bring in legislation that states anyone who isn't willing to donate can't receive any organs.

pgj2015

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121820788#Comment_121820788

well it clearly does to a lot of people because I know lots of people who don't want their organs donated after their death.

But you do want yours donated as you said earlier. Just changing your mind now not to make it easy for the government. You made your donation decision for a reason and I would assume that was to help others.

pgj2015

tell them what? and why?

Seth Brundle

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121820803#Comment_121820803

So you have discussed this topic with loads of people and of those that you spoke to, "a lot" of them are against the idea? Did they say why they were against the idea that they might help someone after they are dead?

pgj2015

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121820833#Comment_121820833

For whatever reason they dont want to donate their organs and even when dead I think that should be respected.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121820818#Comment_121820818

Yes because I feel there is something not right about the whole thing, I could be wrong but im trusting my gut.

You're wrong. My left arm is like a pin cushion from giving blood donations. I got a call a few years back to see if I could give blood to help a new born that was AB+. If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, I'll be happy out if my scraps make a difference to someone else. If you want to do something useful, go give blood.

pgj2015

You don't know that though in reality.

Yes I have been meaning to go donate blood.

You are wrong, and dangerous

There's no **** way that you're an organ donor.

In the past I did a lot of campaigning re organ donation, and a friend got 25+ extra years, doubled his lifespan having had a lung transplant, having had his own lungs destroyed by CF. I had Ulcerative Colitis, so couldn’t be an organ donor, and later was diagnosed with MS, so instead I am giving my brain to neuro research.

Maybe they will transplant my shrivelled brain into some poor sod who will have to experience life as I do 😁🤣

Giving blood is a great thing to do, I used to do that before I got sick, hope I didn’t pass on any horrible disease 😢 to a recipient. Later during and after colectomy surgery I needed at least 8 units. Blood is always needed.

Giving blood or platelets is one of the most generous things one can do to help others with a bit of mild inconvenience to oneself.

Well they're just gonna be rotting at the point you die so personally speaking, I'm not gonna be that upset.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121820845#Comment_121820845

If they're that passionately opposed they can simply opt out. If they're so ill informed to not be aware of the system in place, that's their fault and nobody else's. And the reality is, most won't want to opt out.
