Organ Donation
Apparently there has been another blunder when organs have been removed without prior authorisation of the patient or permission form the family.
I do not go with this. There seems to be confusion between the body and the person. When someone dies the person is no longer there. Where they are or whether is a matter of faith and religious belief. But the body is now discarded and will rot away. There can be no further use for it or its parts by the former occupant. Some of those organs can save a life, give sight or improve life quality in many ways. What better legacy to leave. I am of the view that organ donation should be automatic, with an opt out if you wish.
Wow! What a concept! Beautiful .. Brilliant
Lovely sharp post. Never considered that it was this simple. Praises to you!
