Donation registers (who donates!)

[Saddlesoap]

Poll limited to my knowledge of UK registers.

Who is on which register(s) to donate when able (be it alive or not!).

Interested to hear people's reasons for/against donating.

ETA 'None' option into poll

On the organ and stem cell/bone marrow register. I’ve previously been unable to give blood due to being under the weight threshold!

 

[BettyCrocker]

They can have anything they want from me when I’m gone

 

[Mulholland Drive]

Just organ and blood for the time being

 

[Platypusfattypus]

Just organ and blood. No reason other then I haven't got round to the marrow one.

 

[Fourcandles]

I’m not on any but only because I can’t be as I’m a bone marrow recipient

huge thanks to anyone on the registry

I thought there had been a law change and everyone was now automatically opted in for organ donation, and you have to write to them to opt out? I'm sure it was on the news last year and everyone got a letter about it.

The law changed so now everyone is automatically a organ donor , you have to opt out

 

[Bobbleowl90]

Everything.

 

[Kim Mild]

I can't give blood due to having had a transfusion before.

This is what inspired me to ask the question. My husband had a stem cell transplant. Hope you are well!

And me. I went to the bodyworks exhibition a few years ago and it was amazing. I’d love them to keep me and hang me up for people to look at. (Once they’d used my innards for the important stuff obvs)
