Im on the donor list. I dont see what good my organs are to me once Im dead...might aswell help someone else.

There should be some way you can say the sort of person they should go to though, these alchololics who get second livers and knack them up too because they wont stop drinking, shouldnt have had a second chance in the first place...if someone is ill by their own doing, then I dont want to help them, selfish as it sounds, would rather help a child who was born ill or something.

Well there's a priority list,whoever needs organs the most gets them first but only if the organs are a match. On Grey's Anatomy they had this thing where an alcholic had to be sober a year before getting any organs,I don't know if it's the same over here.

There should be.

I still think people who are genuinely ill should get help first though, instead of someone who has made themselves like that.

Well...its not so much not caring...its more i think people who are ill through no fault of their own should be priority...which seems fair to me. Maybe I look at things the wrong way, I dont know, but Ive always thought like that.

Then again maybe we should ban all smokers and drinkers from receiving any care in the NHS.

Would they then ask for the tax on their poisons be used to set up a health service for themselves? That would pretty much knacker the NHS.

Indeed, it's a complicated matter, didn't say I agree or disagree with what treatment they get.

Yeah, I think it has to be done on an individual case, some people who should stop for their health dont.

Its when they dont want to stop but receive the benefits and still go back to unhealthy ways.

Mind you cant exactly take them back in and rip out the replcement organs, can you?
