Make sure your nearest and dearest know your wishes, seems to be an important point - oh and persuade your friends and family to think about the issue - sooner rather than later!

You are right about the nearest and dearest part of it. They seem to need some persuading, and their signature is required on the donor card. I'm happy to be a card-carrying member of this club!

I am glad that I have signed up if any bits of me are any use I hope they help someone. I have carried a card for years now but this idea is great.If my relatives dont do as I want I will haunt them.
