Organ donor list
So, as I'm updating my drivers licence, I get a prompt to sign up to the organ donors list.
It's something I've always wanted to do, but never knew how. Turns out you can do it all on line in a few mins. I would encourage everyone to do it. It's very easy.

I signed up years ago. I've seen the adverts on TV here in Wales for the new 'you're in' unless you 'opt out' campaign, cracking idea.

As far as I know, this is all going to be changed soon to an "opt out" system, rather than "opt in"... So the default position will be that your organs will be used...

Ah, maybe it is Wales that I read about for the you're in unless you opt out system... I am all for it... as long as there is a clear way for those who wish to opt out to do so, then I say "go for it.."..

I also signed-up years ago and carry a donor card where it's easy to see in my wallet.
I'm supportive of an opt-out approach for adults, but opt-in (parental or legal guardian consent) for those less than 18 years old.

Transplants work much better these days however the 'right' circumstances are so specific that we must all be considered potential donors to give those like your daughter the best chance of a shorter wait.
