[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 475369, member: 74042"] I carry the card, even go to the extent of carrying it when I go out running, cycling etc. Carry a blood group card as well, just in case. I'd hope my other 2/3 would not override my wishes as I've made it clear on several ocaisions that I don't see my body as anything other than wormfood when I've finished with it. My will states ecological burial, no cremation. I may even change that to non-religious as well, being a confirmed atheist. Opt in/opt out. I think make the choice as an adult with the proviso that you can change your mind any time. But logically and morally, can you support a stance that says I'll have yours, but you can't have mine. And let's face it, you go into hospital needing a transplant, if the organ is there, you'll get it; they won't be looking at whether you are carrying the card. [/QUOTE]
