Opt out of organ donation

@Wolfgirrl thank you, I do totally understand where you are coming from, I just don’t want the matter of opting out of womb donation to be confused with a blanket opting out which may result in less organs not more.

It is such a complicated issue and one I so wish I didn’t have to think about!! I just am so desperate to grow my little ones up, I’d take anything lol!!

Thanks for highlighting anything to do with it though, getting people talking is the best thing of all.

I really hope it doesn’t stop people registering as organ donors for life saving donations.

Other organs are listed separately, I hope that if this comes to fruition then reproductive organs are too.

This will lead to some people opting out who otherwise might not have, which surely can't have been the goal when creating an opt out system.

Agree Im happy to be totally harvested but not those bits. Also, many other organs donated mean another persons life is saved, literally life and death but not the case for reproductive organs surely? It's not essential so I add that to the reasons why I'm deeply, deeply, uncomfortable with them being donated.

Hands off my womb, dudes.

I opted out a year or so ago because of this.

My next of kin has strict instructions that they can have anything they like but nothing that was used to make my baby.

If opting out is encouraged that should say!

From the other thread on here, I believe reproductive stuff is excluded completely.

I would not want my eggs used for any reason after my death.

Please don’t opt out , I need a kidney, as do many mothers out there. My very small children need their mum. Wombs being “stolen” is probably unlikely, mums being stolen from babies is likely if opting out is discouraged. Just make it so so clear to loved ones what your wishes are, add it to your record etc, but please don’t encourage others not to donate just in case, I beg you.
Thank you to everyone who considers donating, you cannot understand what it means until you are faced with it.

I'm an adult and I'm able to consent to my organs being donated. My husband a my next of kin knows my wishes. When my children are older they can know my wishes too.

I'm very hopeful that I'll die old and warm in my bed meaning my womb and ovaries would be useless for childbearing anyway.

Biology determines which sex gives birth, it's nobody's fault.

Fwiw even if you opt in or out your next of kin get the final say.

I mean equal pay, equal opportunities and equal protection against abuse or violence. Something the LGBT community also struggle for. I completely disagree that trans women are 'imposing themselves" on woman's rights. I also tend to avoid this section because my views towards trans people are different from the culture here.
If you dont want to donate your womb that's your decision and I'm sure your family could relay that. Please consider still donating other organs if you can though.

I suspect the good doctor is trying to be 'controversial'. Even if this were surgically possible, it takes more than just being in possession of a womb to maintain a pregnancy. The 'Emperor's New Clothes' charade wouldn't stretch to a biological male being in possession of a female immune system for a start.

Ah just realised this thread is in the "feminist" section and it's the thought of it going to a trans woman that's the issue? I consider myself a feminist in the sense I want equality so cant understand the issues with trans people.

I dont see why you wouldnt donate your womb if it can help someone else? At the end of the day... You'll be dead so surely it's better that a piece of you can live on and make someone else's life a bit better?

Who cares? You'll be dead.

My mum lost a baby to sids about 42 years ago. She found out some time after that some babies at that time had their organs removed without permission. I don't think she ever found out for sure if it had happened to my sister. She was really upset by it, probably still is. So people do care about this stuff.

I wouldn't want my dd to be in a world where a man has my reproductive parts inside of him. Or a woman to be honest, but definitely not a man. I don't want to contribute to something I think is wrong, even if I'm dead.

I have already opted out I can't donate blood so doubt they would be able to use my organs anyway.

Don’t know if it’s been posted but here’s the link to amend your existing register entry or to opt out.

I've had to opt out of organ donation, I'm pissed off there is no box to say why I have done this.
I don't want everyone to think I'm a selfish sod. As it is I can't give blood, tissues, bone marrow or donate organs as I had several blood transfusions in CJD era.
If I could I'd donate everything and I would not care where they went.
