Truther 1,579 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Its a no from me...........Things you cant get an answer to on google. How many British doctors are registered donors? .............no figures...............42% of Canadian doctors are registered donors. How Many Welsh doctors have opted out? ...........no figures. If its such a good thing, a noble act, why aren't all doctors automatically registered as donors? You aren't dead, organs aren't much use if you're proper dead, very small window to harvest..............the rules are "two experienced doctors have to determine you are clinically dead, or brain stem dead.............muhammed and iqbual aren't getting that option on me, 1, there's a very high demand from ethnic communities for organs, self inflicted by inbreeding, 2, The muslim doctors association of GB oath, "To promote the islamic faith in medicine, and promote the health of muslims in the UK. Should be illegal under race laws, but its ignored by the BMA, government. Its a bit harsh, but mending naturally faulty people just creates more faulty people, some medical conditions could be completely eradicated or greatly reduced by not letting carriers breed, Hemophilia for eg But no, we want to play god and weaken our own species, its not like we're endangered is it. f****n hell thats a bit grim. Would you breed pups from genetically faulty stock mate? We all understand that one...............but insist on perpetuating faults in our own species, not logical, and hypocritical?

donnyc 1,203 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Well 13 14 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer of the liver ..It was the size of a pea but was given a matter of a few weeks to live..I was lucky I was transplanted in 3 weeks...A young 35 year old in the ward was diagnosed with 3 tiny spots of cancer on his liver he was told nothing could be done ,poor bloke never smoked drank etc etc just got engaged and had a week or so left ..Bloody disease..So yes Im for the opt out system Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I signed up many years ago. My wife and family are aware of my wishes. I've even made enquiries about body donation, rather than just bits of it. I don't believe in any kind of afterlife so, when I'm gone, I won't be needing it. If they can find anything that's any use, they're more than welcome to it. If you 'carry the card', please inform your next of kin - its them who will be asked, not you ! Just on one of Truthers issues, inter- racial organ transplant is rare, due to the increased risk of rejection - DNA and mitochondrial differences, I think, but don't know any more than that.....too technical for me.

Maybe i dont undestand u properly but if your daughter had a fault that will kill her would u consider her not worthy of saving. Apologies if i got your point wrong tho. Sensetive subject Of course i would save a daughter mate, who wouldn't? If it was a case of donating a kidney or something else i could live without i'd get tested for a match asap, so would the rest of the family, i'd die to save her if it was a heart, but they wouldn't do that would they. I'm making 2 points, maybe that's the confusing part? I don't trust the doctors who make the decisions...........why aren't all doctors registered donors?.........Why aren't the statistics of doctors being registered not available.......don't inspire confidence does it? The only figure i can find is 42% of Canadian doctors are registered donors, well less than 50%? Maybe the government should have made "opt out" compulsory for the medical professionals first, might inspire some confidence in the general public, but i suspect the reason is it would have the opposite effect if they published honest figures for doctors opting out? The second point was.............we could eradicate or lessen the need for transplants/medical care by stopping genetic faults at the source, ie don't let people with hereditary faults breed. So if my daughter was saved by a transplant, and the problem was a hereditary genetic disorder, i wouldn't want her to have kids and pass it on to my grandkids, common sense, and there's plenty of kids need a good adoptive home if anyone can't live without kids. It wouldn't work 100% i know that, but it would lessen the instance of genetic diseases, so would making inbreeding illegal. You're right Blackbriar, interracial transplants don't work as well, but i doubt it stops them trying, in 2013/14 56 donors were from minority backgrounds, figures for ethnic minority people who got transplants don't seem to be available Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donnyc 1,203 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 The ..decision as to who gets a transplant is taken by a very large commitee specialists , surgeons, transplant co ordinators etc etc ..Its not just a local donor goes to a local recipient its countrywide . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh_red 4,645 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I have no idea why doctors dont agree to it en masse. Some religeons dont do it because of the afterlife. Maybe that has something to do with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jacknife 2,005 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 If you don't want to donate fine Agree it should be opt out and those that opt out also opt out of receiving organs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where did i say i don't agree with organ donation to save someone with a hereditary illness? If they exist its only right to treat them any way we can, but by some simple selective non breeding the hereditary disease/fault could be greatly reduced or eradicated in the first place. What we do now is......allow indiscriminate breeding/inbreeding and suffer the consequences, or the victim and their families do. I'll opt out when it comes to England, not donating/not receiving is fair enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Truther 1,579 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Fair point mate, i did say that, but not intended as you're reading it, i couldn't let people (some people) die if others we're prepared to donate organs to save them, that's their choice, like not donating is mine. My point is a lot of it could be avoided in the first place, it will be eventually, things never stay the same with human thinking, we're in a period of plenty, and have the options to squander things, it wont last forever. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
