luckyluke 1 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I think I signed up when I got my driving license. I'd happily donate my organs, but I'm not so keen on donating my whole body for medical science. As irrational as it sounds, I want some part of me to be 'laid to rest'. I know I'd be dead and it doesn't really matter, but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is if you leave your whole body it will be badly abused by medical students. I remember witnessing a kidney fight once. Messy I can tell you.

Renton 18345 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Off topic (surprise) but my worst dissection memories are chopping up an erect penis (or rather watching my female colleagues do this with relish), and scooping out some ancient pickled shit from a deceased 80 year old's colon.

Don't leave your body to medical science whatever you do! Is chopping up a euphemism? I can just imagine you handling pickled shit. Did it look like Branston?

Gemmill 36226 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I thought you were taking the piss tbh. How is that even possible? That it would stay that way after.

Yeah, but my lasting impression of dissection was the absolute fucking bitches who I shared my body with (fnarr fnarr). A lot of my coursemates need a slap alright. I'm lovely though.

ewerk 27151 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I registered the last time this thread came up. Good to see that now your next of kin can't stop the harvesting if it is clear that it was your wish to be a donor. Isn't that contrary to what Catmag has just said? Your next of kin CAN stop the retrieval, but are less likely to do so if you're on the register. No surgeon is going to go ahead with organ retrieval if a patients family are stood there saying that they refuse permission to do so. Well in theory they can, http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6150285,00.html but I don't know how it works in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Well in theory they can, http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6150285,00.html but I don't know how it works in practice. It's a tough one. It would take a very brave doc to go ahead with it knowing the relatives strongly objected. The families go through enough trauma when told that their loved one is clinically brain-dead to them be told their organs will be retrieved against their consent.

Fuck them I say, if the deceased went to the effort to join the register and could save more than one other life then a few more tears is a price worth paying IMO.
