Misdee did you see this? Donor cards can't be overruled by families now.

YES!!! Iheard about this months ago, but wasnt sure if it was true and when it would be coming into place.

we have hope again!

I saw this and thought of Peter, misdee.

Great news. ! in 10 isn't that much, but it is still one in 10 more people getting the gift of life.

I have told dh that I will be back to haunt him if I am cermated with anything 'useful' still on board! Dh's can be used, sadly.

i can't really understand why people would object. my ds(12) saw my card and said it was horrible and was i going to die! i explained all about it and he now thinks it's a good idea.

i had a card when i was about sixteen too and my friend cut it up and was totally against them.

I heard about this on the radio this morning - abou time say I. I'm on the register but dh's organs also can't be used. All my family already know and respect my wishes anyway so there would have been no problem in my case anyway.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all Misdee.

Brill news isn't it?
