If people opt out of organ donation they should be put to the end of the list for a transplant. Other countries do this.

I can’t think of why you would go to the trouble of opting out of something that will help others?

> A total of 58,482 people had opted out of the scheme by 31 December.
That’s about 1% of the population, with 40,000 of those opting out within the first ten days. There were always going to be people who opt out, but it’s probably still a big improvement in the overall number of doners.

These people should also be “opted” out of any transplant list they find themselves on.

Should operate a system that other countries do, opt out and you will be at the bottom of any list to receive an organ

Opt out of giving , take it as opt out of receiving ….simple as that. By all means be selfish but don’t expect anything back….

What do people imagine they will need their organs for when they’re dead?

I’ve shared this before on here. I lost a friend some time ago. They were one of the kindest human beings you could ever meet. They didn’t have much yet they would give you their last penny in their pocket without hesitation. They always stood up for what was right in the world. One of those really genuine people in life. They taught me so much on how to be a better person.
They were always very clear that if anything ever happened to them, they wanted their organs donated.
Unfortunately they died tragically. All of their organs were donated, exactly as they wished. While their loss has broken my heart, there is a great deal of comfort in knowing that a part of them is still here in this world. Whoever received that heart is incredibly lucky, it’s one hell of a heart to have inside you. Even in death, they’re still giving and making a difference in people’s lives and it’s comforting knowing that their legacy lives on.

They’re welcome to all of my organs, although I don’t think the liver or the kidneys will have much second hand value 🍻

>A spokeswoman for the HSE said an individual’s next of kin is always consulted before any action is taken in the event of their death, and if their consent is not given, the donation does not proceed.
>“Therefore, it is important to emphasise that it is still really important for you to let others know your wishes in relation to organ donation, in the event of your untimely death,” she explained.
So old system I could categorically state i want to be a donor, but new system my next of kin could oppose it?
It’s definitely a better system, and I’ve no concerns about my next of kin doing that but still feels fairly ropey if someone has a next of kin with a different belief/view on things.
Should there be a registration for “don’t ask my next of kin, 100% take what you need”.
I still carry my worn and faded donor card in my wallet just in the hopes it might speed up the process if I died as they’d know without having to check any system and potentially save someone in urgent need.

The register was political theatre. Family can still opt you out.
