With most fatal accidents, probably occuring from road crashes , and the need to increase body part transfusions, it has been stated that all parts should be useable, unless you decide to opt out.
I've thought this should be the case for years, and have carried a card to say so - have you.

I have carried a donor card since my teens, but I do not believe that it should be an opt-out system. It is my body, not the property of the NHS.

The lack of donors is a failure of the NHS do a decent job of educating us and coercion is a poor response.

In case the mods are getting twitchy about this thread's connection to motoring, let's not forget that doctors routinely refer to motorcycle riders as 'donors'.

It was a good try at a very tenuous link!
