Oh for heavens sake you two, please stop about the catheter already! (lol) Hiya crete xx.
I do carry a donor card. So did my son Kevin, who many of you know died of brain cancer just before his 21st birthday. As much as he wanted to be a donor, and I too was in favor of this, in the end it just wasn't possible. He died in St. Luke's hospice and had spent the last weeks in such extraordinary pain that there was no way we would have been able to move him to a hospital, which would have been necessary if he was to be a donor. The only thing he was worried about donating were his eyes. He told me that he realized there was no logic in it, but that the idea of someone else seeing the world through his eyes just didn't feel right for him personally. He thought it would be like having had his brain transplanted in a way. I myself am fine with having my eyes donated as I would like to be able to help someone else see this beautiful world we live in. As for my other bits, some now of metal, I am not sure if anyone would want them. I would not want my body to go to medical science though, as my family have already told me they would be very upset by this.

Born and raised in Scottyland.
My brother moved sowf to Engerlund to try and educate the locals, sort of like working as a missionary. He tries to educate them and make them civilised like us Scottyland people. To mix with the natives he married one of them.
I prefer to stay safe up here in mid-Scottyland. I am trying to save a scotsman elsewhere .. ... see http://www.savecarsonbeckett.com/ I am sure that some of you might like to help.

I don't yet carry a donor card but I will, not sure I could agree to donating my eyes or those of my loved ones, I cant really explain why either, think its the irrational feeling that without them a person loses their identity, on the other hand, having worked with visually impaired children I know they would be a true gift.
My Nan many years ago had arranged to donate her body to medical research after my grandad had done so. Sadly she died one June and when we tried to fulfil her wishes we were refused because the universities had started their summer holidays and we were told the freezers would be too full!
As for Scottyland, its beautiful, lived in St.Andrews as a child, now regularly stay in Moffat, Loch Lomond etc. You gotta go, scotty people are fantastic and so welcoming!

I have carried a donor card for over 30 years (it started off as a kidney donor card and went from there) - and I have informed my next of kin that my body can be used for medical research after my death. I am not going to need any of my *bits* after I'm dead, am I ? If those said *bits* manage to help someone else live or have a better quality of life, then that would be wonderful too.
