Sir Liam Donaldson

I agree with this suggestion 100%. What a waste it is to cremate or bury people's bodies when their parts could SO make a wonderful difference in someone's life. My belief is that you're going to heaven where it is your spirit that will be whole and it matters not if you've left anything at all behind of your earthly body. To allow it to rot into nothing is such a waste. I sincerely hope that we adopt the same policy here in the U.S.

I'm so glad you have offered to donate all your parts.

We will need them tomorrow !

I’m curious. What gives Sir Liam, or anyone else, the right to coerce charity? When they do this with taxes, many scream about theft. But if it’s the body’s organs, then I guess it’s OK?

I’m being a little sarcastic, but the erosion of freedom (should this come to the U.S.) is still the erosion of freedom. That includes the freedom to be selfish.

LOL

How about forced blood donation? After all, it would save many lives and it's totally safe and doesn't depend on the death of the donor.

I'll make you a deal - You pay me today the market rate for all my organs and I'll sign my body over so that on the day I die, you can have whatever you like.

Conversely, I have two good kidneys you, or whomever needs one, can have one in exchange for a new car for my family. A Chevy Suburban would be perfect.

Same with the liver - I have a good one and I'll give you, or whomever needs it, half of it in exchange for remodeling the downstairs area of my house. I'd like to move the kitchen down there from the upstairs - It's just too hot up there to cook.

I’ve been able to pretty much wear out every part, they won’t get much from me!

Do you seriously not understand the eventual consequences of such a policy?
