it should be an 'opt in' NOT an 'opt out'

[timwilky]

No, sorry. Far too many people in need and not enough people snuffing it having decided in advance that part of them is not for the worms.

Implied consent, opt out is well overdue

Welcome to anything of mine that is still working but I feel sorry for the poor who gets it.

Quite the opposite, if you feel that strongly about it then opt out. I can't see why people are that bothered about it unless it's some religious reason. When you're dead that's it so why not let something you've left behind benefit someone else. I'm not going to ask for all my possessions to be burnt when I die so no-one can use them.

I always wanted to donate my parts,
but nowadays i think that some people dont deserve them, and there is no way i can say who to give to and who not to...
me being a twot or just too picky.
what do you say ?.

Good point, I think that if you don't like them you get to haunt them though so that makes it ok.

Yes a good point, imagine if you'd donated your liver to George Best.

However I'm sure that the good outweigh the bad and if I'm dead WTF can I do about it.

So on the balance I'd rather donate

I had a donor card, but lost it when my wallet was lost by my inebriated self.

Do I need to carry one or are my details still on the system.

Anyones welcome to any of my bits, being a smoker, poor diet and my drinking is at the upper end of social (stolen from a film trailer) they can have them if they want.

Thinking about it would you refuse something if it came from a human turd? If you're willing to accept something from a blurt then you should really be willing to donate to one.
