SHAUN McGuire took the words out of my mouth in his recent letter.
Rosemary Butler is asking for opinions on the opt out organ donating system being brought in in Wales shortly.
For a long time, I’ve been waiting for something that gives people information about it to enable them to decide. I have also asked, through the Argus, many questions about it. Nobody has answered.
One person wanted to answer my questions privately, but I don’t want private answers to questions I’ve asked publicly, so I ask again, why only Wales? Will all the organs stay in Wales?
If not, why not? If people opt out, can they still receive one? How do we opt out?
Are organs sold to other countries? Where do Muslim countries get blood and organs from as they don’t donate either, but accept both?
If we are so desperate for organs, how can we think of giving any to other countries?
A large number of people come here from other countries for organs. Do people from this country do the same and go abroad for organs? Why is everything so hushed up?
