Default Today I registered to become an organ donor

No big deal for most people,I know,but for me I had to over come a few issues in my mind,still can't let them take my eyes though.

Made me feel good today doing it aswell.

I always hated the idea when i was young but a signed up a few years ago. Think they can have anything from me, cant quite remember now.
I figured that some use may as well come from my being here.
Id like to give blood too but cant for the time being.

I ticked the box when I applied for me car license, I suppose they put the option on the application form because there's a good chance you'll kill yourself being a new driver!

Otherwise it's never been a problem for me, if ya don't need ya bits then someone else may as well have em! Not that mine are worth having to be fair......

I really think it should be the other way round, you should have to opt OUT of the scheme. That way anyone who dies is broken for spares, unless they opt out!!

I have tried to give blood in the past, but for some reason i couldn't fill the bag in time I will try again when im allowed to! Got to wait til my last piercing has been in for 12 months then ill defo give it another go!

I haven't thought much about becoming a donor if im honest but it is something i would consider...i think! I suppose if i can help someone else then thats got to be a good thing!

I signed up when i changed my driving licence from paper to photocard

Would rather give someone another crack at life if mine suddenly came to an end.

I personally feel that you should have to register NOT to be a donor, and be specific about which parts you wont donate.
