An interesting poll.

My licence says that they can have any bits they want. They will be no use to me at that time, so I wish for people to make use of what they can.

Live donation is a tougher thing, and I think it really depends so much on the circumstances. People that are really close to you and that show no signs of getting a donor in time - then the answer will likely be yes.

I can see the point of the argument for children getting priority access, and if the choice was between me and a young child having a life saving operation then at my age I would most probably opt to step aside. I do not think however that there should be a forced ranking system based on age. That just means "I'm sorry but you are 50 and need a kidney transplant - you have no hope". I am against options that preclude hope.
