maggi   10 #63 Posted September 8, 2005 Sign up to the register at http://www.uktransplant.org.uk/. It's best to inform your family, next-of-kin, friends etc of your wishes as well. Not only will they be aware of your wishes, you'll probably hear a number of inspirational stories of people whose lives have been changed for the better. We nearly all know somebody who has been helped by the altruism of others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lou   10 #64 Posted September 9, 2005 I carry a donor card and my family know my wishes after I've died. It's in my Will too. I've been meaning to sign up on the Organ Donor Register for ages but never got round it. But reading this thread has prompted me to finally do it!  Maggi has posted a link to the register and there's also answers to FAQs: http://www.uktransplant.org.uk/ukt/how_to_become_a_donor/questions/questions.jsp  which might answer some of the questions that people have been posting.
