REPLYING to I. Holland’s question in their letter asking “Why anyone would not want to donate organs is beyond me?”
I can answer that question from a previous experience of how low the health authorities and the Welsh government will stoop to protect themselves with no consideration of the effect it will have on family members.
Firstly, my body belongs to me not another individual and not to a government, it’s our own decision what happens to it.
There is already an adequate scheme with the organ donation card working well and increasing donations every year without this new law which will not make any difference to any Welsh resident waiting for an organ as the organs go on an international list.
From my own experience, I was told a pack of lies for two years about my son’s stolen organs and attending a public consultation about this law being told that any opposing views would not be tolerated shows the deceit of the Welsh Assembly.
Just to remind everyone the body parts that they can take consist of, kidneys, heart, liver, lungs, pancreas, the small bowel, corneas and sclera, valves and pericardium, skin, bone, tendons and cartilage.
Not much left is there?
