Hi John,

Usually when somebody makes a will it is because they have recognized and
accepted
the fact that someday they are going to die,and they have though about what
they
want to do with there material posesions ,and who they would like to have
them.
Similarly If someone has taken the time to study about donation, and they
want there organs
if possible to benefit some one el's who really needs them who has the
right to countermand that request.
My opinion is no-one, a dying wish should be honored. It shouldn't be up to
someone el's to rebuke it.
I am not saying this just because I need a transplant, because the Dr's at
Adenbrooks don't want to give me one,
and I am probably not likely to get one if they have there way, But Most
sudden deaths involve a postmortem, and all those organs are then just
pushed back into the body and buried or incinerated but for what good
reason!! Nothing !!
