A few years ago a mother was dying of some disease or another, and her daughter had kidney problems and would die shortly after if no match was found. It was hugely unlikely a match would be found in time, so the mother said take both mine, I want my daughter to have them. Ok fair enough they said, and when the mother sadly died, the kidneys etc were removed, but went to another person instead of the daughter. The reasoning behind this being, because she was on the organ donor list they belonged to the NHS so she had no say in who they went to. The daughter died shortly after... That makes my blood boil. They couldnt even meet the dying wish of a mother.
Dont get me wrong, i agree with what its for, and members of my family wouldnt be here today if it wasnt for it, but there are some huge flaws in it as described above....
Hardly call that a flaw. If everyone could say "I want my organs to go to....." then the system wouldn't work. You would have people that will never have a chance of getting a organ they need where as with the system as it is, you would have more of a chance. Other way you have to look at it is everyone's life is as important as each other.
Bet you read that story in the sun as well didn't you?
