Organ donation option?

I think it's a good idea. It may not be what drivers want to think about, and this will force them to make a yes or no answer. Hopefully, more will say yes. Often it's the next-of-kins' personal feelings that stand in the way of a transplant of any organ being donated, whereas this way, the person concerned can make that decision, whether it be yes or no, for themselves.

It's been a yes or no question for a long time, and now still is and will be if or when it's online. I don't get your misunderstanding since it does not look like a compulsory yes to me, it's always been that you make a decision, either or and I suspect if you don't answer it that will mean it's no. Being a donor was and still is not compulsory.

I think it should be that everyone is considered a donor unless they opt out by signing something.

that way there would be many more donors than there are now.

My husband got 10 more years of life thanks to a selfless person and their family who donated a liver.

The day my husband had his liver transplant, he had 1 grandson who was 2 weeks old.

When he finally did pass away, he had had the opportunity to love and play with 9 grand children, all of whom remember him quite well and talk about him all the time, even though he has been gone 6 years.

You can bet your bottom dollar I am all for organ donation.

It is a selfless gift of life when you are no longer alive anyway.

EDIT: for those of you who have agreed to be an organ donor, be aware that when you die, your family can still object and refuse to let it happen.

That happens all the time.

Be darn sure your family knows your wishes and be adamant that this is what YOU want to do, no matter what they want.

I think it's just a more efficient way of handling a delicate matter ahead of time.

If, as you said, the worst were to happen...the decision was already made and put into place.

My license simply says "Organ Donor" next to my signature. That eliminates my family having to make that choice during a difficult time...and it makes it easier for the medical staff to do what needs to be done as swiftly as possible.

At least in the US, organ donation has been an option for decades.

I have never heard of any attempt to make it compulsory - and I highly doubt it ever will be.

What makes you think this is going to happen? What is your source?

I don't see a problem with it. If you refuse to answer, they will just take it as a "no" anyway, and in the meantime you might change your mind. I've been saying "yes" ever since I can remember.

Oh, I see what you mean, by doing it online it becomes a required field to answer it. I still don't see a problem. If people don't want to, just check no.

My family are all organ donors.

In my home town organs are donated when the player is tired of it and goes back to the piano.

Organ donor!

I think mine would be rejected, but if salvageable, take 'em!

I think it is a good idea so everyone is on the same page when a death occurs.
