Scotland and Canada are (thinking of) changing to "opt out" for organ
donation. Why? Why not just make it mandatory? You're dead, you
don't need those organs. Why waste the doctor's time on paperwork?
Why murder someone after your death who could have been saved by your
body parts? And no I dont care if you have some crazy religion.

not just thinking

speaking as someone who has the liver of a 20 odd year old boy racer if
they don't want to live I do ......


I went to school with one, the twit had a fight with a telegraph pole..
But he didn't reach 20. Well he probably reached 20mph, but not 20
years old :-)

most sill boys write off a car in their first year of driving I know I
did at 17 in 1970 ...... made me a better driver though


I wrote my first car off after 4 years of driving and 100K miles (I commuted a long way with it). But it wasn't my fault. A tractor declined to indicate and drove in front of me while I was overtaking it at 80 mph. The front half of the tractor was entirely removed and the driver ended up facing the ground. My rather sturdy old Rover collapsed quite a bit at the front, the wheels were at 45 degrees, but it managed to continue rolling along the field I flew into. The farmer appeared and let loose on his son who had destroyed the only tractor they had suitable for the harvest.
