Organ Donor Register

At lunchtime yesterday, I sat with some colleagues and our conversation took its usual rather circuitous route. Improbable as it might sound, it all began with a discussion of faggots last Friday; 'What', asked one, 'was the difference between a faggot and a meatball?' The faggot-eating colleague had checked the packaging on her favourites and told us, as expected, that a faggot contained offal. Next step, we were on to discussing offal, and a few minutes later, we had progressed to the topic of organ donation and transplantation. Two of the four of us have personal experience of having to take the decision to donate when relatives have died so possibly we ...  Read the complete review

----Donor Cards---- Being a sufferer of a kidney disease, I dread the day that comes when I'm told that I may need a transplant, trouble is, no-one wants to donate their dead and dying loved ones organs, but yet everyone thinks its a great idea.(some cases don't require someone to be dying ie a kidney or bone marrow transplant) - 90% of the UK think donor cards are a great thing, trouble being, only 10% carry one. ----Organs for Sale---- I have already told my partner that I'll be on a first class trip to India or China for a suitable organ as the waiting lists/times and lack of REAL donors in the UK means most people who need a ...  Read the complete review

Conor doesn't like my Organ Donor Card. It upsets him. Every time he sees it he worries and asks in a worried little voice those worried little questions children ask. "How old are you again, Mummy?" "Who will die first, Mummy, you or Daddy?" "They really do wait until you're dead before they cut out your heart, don't they Mummy?"

In times of stress and worry his major concern is that as he's the youngest Michael, Conor and I will all die before him, leaving him all alone. Timescales ...  Read the complete review
