    an opt out system for this seems to be gathering pace..so yay or nay?

    ..as long as i get to keep my eyes the rest of me is fair game.

    I'm not bothered what they take, it aint any use to me at that point, although I did opt out of the giving my whole body to science.

    I'd rather something a bit more dignified than getting dropped in a body farm so they can study how I rot .. ****in pricks!!

    They can take what they want. I think you should have to opt out rather than opt in. The amount of poor bastards dying due to the lack of an organ when graveyards are full of them is a scandal.

    Nobody is getting any of my organs. I'm spending my life ruining them to make sure.

    Some guy is going to a lucky chap as I have a penis organ donor card.

    12 inches. And I don't use it as a rule.

    I'm in favour of the opt out scheme. I'm perfectly happy for doctors to make the most of my organs after I snuff it, but am too lazy to actively find out about registering. I suspect most people are the same.

    You have a 12 inch organ donor card? <yikes>


    Was having a wee look through JA606 there and they are going on a night out and one of the guys said he has EDGEs email address and he emailed him inviting him <laugh>

    They were talking about you too 'he seemed fun'

    I'm already an organ donor. You should all feel ashamed in my presence. <ok>

    I would donate my body to science when I die but your family still have to pay for your funeral once science is finished with you and that doesn't seem fair.

    Think opt out is a much better idea. A lot of people aren't against donation but havent talked about it or registered as they think it isnt going to affect them in the near future.

    I don't know whether to be chuffed or not to be honest.

    Some bar in Glasgow. Think they are all in their 20s. It's all very BBC606 over there by the looks of it. Check it out.

    About the second or third page in. I was gonna pretend to be you but I can't remember my log in and it wasn't worth setting up a new account just to arrange to meet them so they would be left in the cold for 10 minutes.
