Should people who are on the waiting list for organ transplants be prioritised if they are on the Organ Donor register over someone who isn't?
Should people who are on the waiting list for organ transplants be prioritised if they are on the Organ Donor register over someone who isn't?
In my humble opinion, it's a good idea to do so. It would be a great motivator to increase the number of the organ donors.
Since this is a debate, I'm gonna keep it that simple XD while waiting for counters. Lol.
I dont think so, i doubt there’s many occassions when all other factors would be equal (such as age, health & compatibility) I vaguely remember reading that people should automatically be on the donor register unless they opt out. I like that idea.
P.s I’m on the register!

I agree with the idea of automatic registration but why is this idea unsuitable too? From what I can see, it's a positive reinforcement.
Imo ..
Well I imagine many choose not to be a donor for various reasons.. religion could be one. I just feel it would be rather unfair to deny a life saving transplant to someone, because they didnt want to be a donor at the time. I mean, what if someone was in a coma and had just never had the chance to decide if the wanted to be a donor or not?
Tbh, it took me a while to decide to be a donor... the idea of someone cutting me up & taking all my organs before the coroner could present my body to family for whatever type of funeral I decide on.. well its a hard decision to make.
We are not denying a person's right for the organ. We are just favoring those who would've done the same thing. It makes sense.
If you are a dying man, it's your turn for the organ, go for it. But if there's also another man who is dying but he is an organ donor, he should be favored instead of you. Life is about taking and giving.
And furthermore, why would someone be selective in their religion? I don't think that there is any particular religion has an opposite stance regarding this case, meaning they allow people to receive organs but not to donate? Well, that is quite a selfish value to be instilled.
