what're your reasons for not being on the organ donor registry?

Maybe not "make up", but more "do my little bit" then.

So your saying it is stupid , spiteful and selfish for those who choose to go to the grave fully sewn up then?

I'd say it's ignorant, thoughtless and selfish. But that's just my opinion...

post was so worth it then barbara :T

why are people offended by being asked why they are not donor register? ... no-one forced you to give your opinion. so i dont know why you are up in arms.

i believe it was posed to those who wanted to give their reasons as a matter of interest.

Speaking for myself...and ONLY myself,I am glad Brett started the thread.It reminded me of something i have always been meaning to do and was just to lazy to do so.I posted MY answer to the question asked.It gave the opportunity to actually think about my reasons Why I hadnt yet signed the register.

A good friend of mine sadly died late last year he was an organ donor from his tragic death 5 other people survived by recieving his organs.

I am too a organ donor I don't think I'm comfortable with them taking my eyes though I would like to keep them when I die even though they are no use to me, but I do think that once we have gone from this world that we can still watch over our loved ones well how can we if we have no eyes I know that sounds crazy but it's how I feel about things.

Both my mum and step dad have donated blood for years my mum hasn't in the last few years as she was given blood when she had my brother in 1983 back then blood wasn't tested for aids and hepititus (sp) c etc so she is no longer able to donate blood.

I agree. Apart from the insult-slinging it is an interesting and valid subject and certainly one always worth debating. x

It is a subject worth debating, if one is aware that debate is not another name for forcing opinion on others and berating them if they think differently to us. Sadly that nuance has escaped some posters.

I make no apologies for questioning someone's choice to just not bother saving a life.

Well perhaps you should - you've already had to clarify that your comments are not aimed at those who cannot donate.

I have valid personal reasons why I will not donate which I have no intention of sharing on line with you or any others of your opinion. Quite frankly it is none of your business.

Guys guys it was only a question about what reasons people would have for not signing the register.
I am sure the OP didnt meant any disrespect to anyone.
Not worth arguing over really.
I am sure that each one of us has respect for the other regardless of what we choose, or our reasons for doing, or not doing it.
I agree with you RuthnJasper,it is worth debating but i can see that there is some sort of slanging match going on here.
Seems like it has gotten out of context somewhere along the way.Or we have in our midst a troll or two.
