Sometimes it's on religious grounds though isn't it.There are arguments about whether this will make a difference to organ donation. Can't understand it myself why folk don't donate. Give others a chance to live. If I could I would stipulate donating to consenters and not to opt-outers. Why should you receive if you are not prepared to give? And what's so precious about a body part that will be rotting within minutes of death?
Please don't bring Trump into it. You've just put me off my pudding.Yes you're right Otis, there's nothing like a good dose of religious dogma to trump human compassion.
I don’t own you and neither does the state. I have had a donor card since I was 16 and made damn sure my family know my wishes but if I didn’t feel like that who am I to say the state owns your body partsSkybluepete, why are you uncomfortable with presumed consent?
But you can opt out?
What about if we top you off and then stick a donor card in your pocket?If anything truly belongs to you, it's your own body.
As far as I'm concerned, no-one should be allowed to take ownership of any part of it without my consent or the consent of my heirs.
I'd have a card in the other pocket saying to ignore any card in the other pockets.What about if we top you off and then stick a donor card in your pocket?
We would cut out all your other pockets and besides, on the donor card we would say this card supercedes all other cards.I'd have a card in the other pocket saying to ignore any card in the other pockets.
You own your own body, but when it comes to suicide, if you thinking about topping yourself, you don't currently own your own mind so custody of it should be taken temporarily whilst you find it again.You think you own your own body but you're not allowed to get help to kill it off in this country.
Remember suicide is telling god, 'you can't fire me, I quit'
As are the body parts.Wales have had presumed consent for a couple of years or so but the stats are too small to draw any conclusions.

Are you saying that every person who chooses to end their life is mentally ill?You own your own body, but when it comes to suicide, if you thinking about topping yourself, you don't currently own your own mind so custody of it should be taken temporarily whilst you find it again.

Not suggesting any are mentally ill. Just not of sound mind/thinking right at that point.Are you saying that every person who chooses to end their life is mentally ill?
