HI Fred,

I would think the difference is that when asked about such issues they then
have to think about it to give an answer.
At other times they tend to put it out of their minds so they don't think
about filling a donor card in.


It doesn't matter If everyone carried a card, while the law allows their
next of kin to revoke it, plenty of organs will be lost.

We should be fighting for the Opt-out clause and get rid of the opt-in
clause.

"from a person deeding a transplant who knows he isn't
going to get it in this country, where Doctors play GOD"

Cheers,
Len.

Hi everybody,

I've just joined this list partly because I am generally interested in the
issues surrounding organ donation and transplantation and partly because of
a particular question. Public opinion surveys on whether people would want
their organs to be used for transplantation after their death generally get
a much greater proportion of people saying yes than actually carry organ
donor cards. I would be very interested to hear how other people would
explain the difference.

Fred
