Today i was in my local chemist picking up a prescription when i noticed a organ donation leaflet to register and i had been thinking about it for a while as my nan had a heart transplant before she died and it gave her an extra 20 years (she was 50 when she had the op)
I took the leaflet and took it home, when i got home i showed to to by DH and asked what he thought, and he point blank told me he didnt want me to register. I asked him why, and he said that i was his wife and he didnt want some1 else having part of me when the time came.
He wasnt being mean about it, it was kinda sweet
But i do feel quite strongly about this and now dont no what to do
What do you lot think??

I think if there were an opt-out system more people would be made to think about it - at the moment it is all too easy to ignore it unless directly affected by it. As I said, if people feel strongly enough about it, they will choose to opt out.

I think it is morally wrong to allow perfectly good organs to go to waste when so many people are in need of them - I guess we are coming from different moral stances.

He sounds like quite a guy. Hope reading his story will get some people signing their cards.
