hi Onecharmingman
Good News! I am a whole body donor which you need to register for in order to not waste organs which could help others after your death. Seems an easy gift to give.
Best wishes

@sogdianrock Wales and Scotland have introduced opt out organ donation, where it is assumed you want to donate your organs unless otherwise stated. I think it's a great idea.

@SW-User I am a huge supporter of the Opt out system - this is a reflection of the difference it can make:
Gold is opt in and Blue is opt out - saving so many lives!

@Fantabulous I really can't see a good argument against it, as long as the opt out works.

@SW-User As a young girl, I saw my late sister's body save 3 people's lives and always knew I would do the same

@Fantabulous That's very sad, but good as well.
