What do yall think about what Wales in the UK has done about organ donating after death?

Question

Answer

I think an opt out system is the right way to go. I also don't think the next of kin should be able to override the wishes of the donor (currently even if you carry a donor card your next of kin need to consent). This is only in Wales though,  not all of the UK...I hope they're leading the way and the rest of the country will follow soon!

Answer

About time tbh, just waiting for them to roll it out in the rest of the UK

Answer

This is really good, since people from ethnic minorities are suffering because of the lack of donors. I hope the rest of the UK follows.

Answer

Don't see why anyone would think this is a bad idea. I'm an organ donor regardless, but I know a lot of people really don't even think about it unless specifically asked. There are a lot of people out there dying waiting for transplants, anything that can help them doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.

Answer

Isn't this a no-brainer? Sounds good to me. If people don't like it then they can opt-out.

Answer

I think it's far better to automatically enroll people and leave it to them to opt out. I feel more lives will be saved and making the switch could spread awareness. I hope it makes it's way to the US. 👏

My mom is in renal failure. Lost one kidney and her second only works 5%. She goes to dialysis 3 times a week. I'm not a match but I am in the process of doing the Paires Kidney exchange (I donate to someone that can use my kidney, my mom receives hers) there's a lot of testing and formalities involved.

Answer

I think for religious and personal reasons it should be allowed to have an opt out everywhere.

Answer

I agree that this is a great thing! My friend who is now 18 has cystic fibrosis and is on the emergency waiting list for a new set of lungs! First  thing I did when found out she has cysti fibrosis was register as a donor. Share your organs to people who's aren't functioning!

Answer

On one hand it's an excellent idea, on the other it's somehow creepy to me(?). Still, I would support it.

Answer

I didn't read the article, but was it mandatory that your organs be donated after death?
