Re: Dutch Organ Donor Show
the moralistas in the UK are up in arms about this, but the show will at least highlight the shocking lack of organs avaiable for donation.
It also needs addressing in the UK. I, and all my family, are on the database for organ donation upon death, but until recently (and it may still be in place, i'm unsure) families have had the right upon a person's death to prevent organ removal. If my family did that to me i'd go nuts, since I wanted to donate.
Anyway, back to topic, if it gets one more person to get on the organ donor database, so much the better. Whilst it violates ethics on organ donation/anonymity, it both a) offers the "contestants" a greater chance than sitting on a waiting list and b) may drive the population to recognise the critical need for organ donation.
SMP thread?
