I've been through the hospital system in Russia and other parts of the former Soviet Bloc, and I'm not too surprised, to be honest. Quick check of the pulse by a doctor who may or may not have had quite a few shots of vodka for lunch, and out to the knackers yard you go... I can see how someone with diabetic coma/hypothermia/whatever could easily wake up on a table in the morgue...

Yes I am a 'recycler'.
As many have said, no good to you once you are dead.
Once picked clean I would prefer to be composted if possible, save the fuel for keeping Landrovers running

Good idea.

Not yet but I might give it a go when I have no further use for them.

Just remember if you can't do organ donation there is always medical research. Either way you can benefit someone in the future.

I'm not sure about Blknight's (Dave's) analogy to old rovers though ... I think I've seen too many of them sitting in a paddock or the bush for decades

In my younger years was always happy to share my organ

But seriously - been an organ donor since I was 16 and everyone knows my wishes..

I'd give an organ for the S2 I found yesterday. Complete bar front bar. Original numbers...Taking trailer up tonight to "Make an offer" they can't refuse, or just take it....

We're both donoprs but I must say I do have a slight issue despite my own thoughts and knowledge of the good it does on loosing someone and also them not being "Complete" so to speak.

Something just doesn't sit right.

I ticked 'ALL" for organ donor

Yes I am, and we have have had this discussion around the kitchen table. Everyone in our family is happy to be a donor, we won't need them once we're gone, and if we can help someone else, then all the better.

When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought of Monty Python.... I won't post the link, as there are swear words in it I think. For those who want a peak, go to you tube and search for 'meaning of life organ donor'. It is quite graphic, and very funny...
