More than 400 people will die this year because they need organ transplants.
Shame on you if you’re reading this blog and have not registered your intention to donate organs after your death on the NHS Organ Donor Register.
It’s the least you can do, and I can’t see how any ethical person could object to being on this register. Only 14 million people are on the register, even though opinion polls show that more than 80% of people support organ donation.
But there is more that you can do – if you write a blog then you should post about this today, and if you use facebook or twitter or other social network tools you should tell your friends about it there. Go on, do it now.
A couple of people have asked, after my last post about this, if I’m ill. I’m not – or at least I’m in no worse state than normal…

Did you know you are twice as likely to need a transplant than to become a donor..
And a donated liver can be split into 3 and given to 3 seperate patients.
With fava beans and a nice chianti?
I’ve signed up (you’ll have me voting next if you’re not careful) but you’re not having my liver - I need it for drinking in the Stage Door on my own… Sob sob.
