Donor Card
IanSV has just made me think
 He carry’s a donor card with him, Does anyone else? I have to admit I carry one usually but not thought to carry one with me when I'm on the bike. Will do so now. While I'm on the subject I regularly donate blood, does anyone else? |

Carry card, told my nearest and dearest my wishes and registered on the donor site.
Heck, if there is less of me to dispose of it should be cheaper

Yes, the most important part is to let your next of kin know.

Yep, I carry my donor card at all times and my folks know my wishes.
What are people's views on the governments plans to make organ donation "opt out" rather than "opt in"? I reckon if they changed it, I'd opt out on principle. I don't like the idea the state assuming they own me unless they hear otherwise.  On the subject of giving blood. I know they always ask if you have any dangerous activites, but they've never advised me not too, regardless of what I've been up to at the time. Do they ask because if you're more likely to be in an accident, you shouldn't give blood (you'd bleed to death quicker)? I've told them about martial arts, rock climbing, etc. I wonder if biking will "tip the scales", so to speak? |

I also have a donor card - as does my wife.
My son (who's 21) has no strong feelings either way - but my 18yo daughter is absolutely against the idea (for herself). I would, of course, respect their wishes; as I'd hope they'd respect mine. I'm supposed to give blood today (I usually donate about 3 times/year - it's preferable to working), but I have the beginnings of a cold, so can't donate. |
