If you are unwilling then why should you be ahead of someone who is? While in principle I'd prefer if everyone was willing to donate their organs, I'd have real concerns over doctors potentially being required to refuse lifesaving treatment because the patient made a perfectly valid and legal choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are unable to give blood, should they be denied a transfusion if they needed it?

You’re a far better poster than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't be denying it. The person whod rejected being a donor would have made the decision that they'd be at the back of the queue. The Doctors would be going with their wishes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Can't donate my organs due to illness. Can't donate blood because of previous transfusions. Not much good, am I? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you play the idiot character on here, but this is genuinely one of the thickest posts ever written on here and none of your scrambling responses are going to change that. 1 hour ago, Mark Connolly said: Where does the line get drawn there?

Off topic, amazing how unremarkable getting a blood transfusion is. They were like "Now it's time for the transfusion" and they just hooked a different wire up and half an hour or so later said it was finished. Not sure what I expected but it wasn't nothing Edited March 27, 2021 by madwullie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it surprise you? I personally don't have a strong opinion on it either way, but I can easily see why folk would support a mechanism of "not unwilling to give your own stuff, so back of the queue to get someone else's". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what I expected but it wasn't nothing I've had 7 blood transfusions in 5 years. I had about 15 transfusions of platelets during my transplant. Getting blood is a great high. Feel like I can run a marathon after getting them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
