A friend and I were talking today about donating our bodies to medical science when we died. Although for some reason I'm somewhat selfish over what happens to my body when I'm dead and no-longer-living, I know it's important for medical advance and if my messed up mind and body could be of any use, then [edit- stupid spelling]dissect away.

My friend agreed, but pointed out he would never carry a Donor-card, but just have it know he wanted his body donated afterwards. I asked why.

He said that he's always scared that if something happened to him and he was in a critical condition, what would happen if the doctor operating on him had a close friend or relative that needed a part of his body? Would the doctor deliberately decide not to help him back to life or even kill him off?

Perhaps a little paranoid, but it's a very scary thought. So here's the question.

You're a doctor, and someone you love VERY dearly is in dire need of some sort of transplant. You're standing over someone who has exactly the transplant you'll need for your love, who is in a critical condition and WILL die unless you operate quickly.

What do you do? Do you deliberately let him die so your friend will be saved, or do you save the person?

Morallls away!

I've heard that paranoid thing before, scared me enough not to carry one though. I'm not sure, don't fancy that nutter German cutting me up live on Channel 4.

To your question... no I don't think I would.
Also, I probably wouldn't donate body parts... I want to but a spirtual (stupid) side of me wants my whole body when I die. I want to be shot into the sun.
