A workmate said that he would'nt donate! I asked him if he was in need would he become a recipient? He aswered Yes!
My question is should only people on the donor register only be eligible for organs? After a leading in period.

As said there would be a leading in period.
Richman girl I agree and it could be made clear on opting out you would be opting out of becoming a recipient also. And as the parents cannot refuse medical treatment, perhaps they should not have a choice! What are they planing to do with the organs after death?

Should be an OPT OUT thing, not an OPT IN thing. What the hell do any of us need with our organs after we are gone!

Your suggestion is impractical. Many people who need organ transplants are severely ill, so their remaining organs would not be in such a good condition as to be donatable.
Your workmate is simply not very charitable. I myself wouldn't want to put myself down for live donation (unless the recipient is someone I really care about), because it involves surgery, and I don't want to be cut open, and I'd like to keep my spare parts in case I need them myself. But if I die, sure, go ahead and salvage my body for parts. I won't be needing any of it when I'm dead.

It is a bit selfish isn't it.
I agree that only those who are willing to donate should be allowed the gift of an organ transplant. Unless they are children, children can have them regardless if they are on the donor registry. That's just my opinion
Honestly, I don't see why there is even a choice. If you're dead, what do you care what happens to your organs....you don't need them anymore, so doctors should just be allowed to take them if needed.

I think that makes sense, but often those who are in need of organs, blood, tissue, etc are not alble to be organ donors because of their illness or disease. But I see your point and your friend is a selfish a$$ if he thinks he's worthy of someone elses organs but too good to give his own!

The patients who need and people who can donate voluntarily, are two different categories. It won't be practical to form any rules. Your workmate may like to save his/her organs not only for him-/herself but also for any close relative or friend. Giving commitment will make one not capable of any choice.
I think I understand why one will not agree to a commitment to donate.

What if they are not able to donate any organs due to medical reason.
