I see, so in your opinion a “poor medical decision” should arbitrarily be overturned by some scumbag politician acting in the name of the “Human Tissue Authority”. Are you nuts? Tell me, would you really take comfort knowing that your dead daughter’s organs went to some stranger instead of prolonging or saving your, the mother’s life? Unbelievable that you could somehow justify this - the state being in control of your organs at death and using them against your wishes. I can think of few things more disgusting....

I'm not a donor because my organs can't be sold upon my death. Why should the hospital, surgeon, etc., etc., be able to bill a patient for their services, yet the most important part of the surgery, i.e.; my organs be given away, free of charge?

That isn't what I said at all. I would absolutely support the direct donation from daughter to mother. They have the RIGHT to make that decision. Personally, I feel it would have likely been a poor decision. That doesn't mean they don't have the right to make it.

However, now that all is said and done, the only comfort they CAN take is that some people were helped.
