    <title>Comment on 'Divorce man wants his kidney back' by Chris Jenkins</title>
<content type="html">This is an interesting one,...on one hand I regard it as unethical to the remove the donated kidney...on the other hand , this is a husband who loved is wife sufficiently to give her one of his kidneys, how many people (male or female) would do that for a partner?

In answer to the question posed, a recipient should show some gratitude to the donor, afterall, the donor has given the most expensive gift possible, LIFE!....does anyone seriously believe the husband would have gone through with the procedure had he known his wife would leave as soon as she no longer needed him?  

The other question I'd like answered before giving a categorical answer is , what condition was the relationship in prior to the transplant? obviously the husband thought it was good, what about the wife?</content>  </entry>

    <title>Comment on 'Divorce man wants his kidney back' by Paul Gill</title>
<content type="html">given that this is an american case it will be interesting to see how this plays out in the courts. lawyers have already indicated that the transplant cannot be considered as an asset to be 'divided up' because of the very nature of what it is. a gift with strings is not a gift at all.

this story was discussed by jeremy vine on radio 2 on friday. transplants often have a transformative effect on many recipients (many of whom are often quite ill for some time prior to transplantation). Consequently some recipients re-evaluate their life (and their relationships, particulalry if they are problematic) when their health is restored.</content>  </entry>

<content type="html">Surely organ donation is seen as a gift you can't take back. I don't think any reputable surgeon would even consider removing a kidney and forcing dialysis on a patient.</content>  </entry>

    <title>Comment on 'Opt out rejected in the UK' by Paul Gill</title>
<content type="html">the proposed opt out system was one of presumed consent - ie, it would be presumed that the person wanted to donate, unless they had registered their wishes not to. There was however an underlying concern amongst health professionals about how the system would work in practice. primarily there was a fear that it would undermine trust in Drs and nurses, especially if the family's wishes were ignored at such a sensitive time.

Despite the PMs rhetoric, I suspect this proposal is dead in the water, for the time being at least</content>  </entry>

    <title>Comment on 'Opt out rejected in the UK' by Drew</title>
<content type="html">I cant help but feel that this was perhaps misrepresented in the media.

From my understanding the current situation was that a person either had to been a donor carrier or other expressed an intrest in donation (the card being a method to record this) AND their family give consent to the procedure.

The &quot;opt-out&quot; scheme would assume that they DID want to donor unless they expressed otherwise (their family would still have to give consent). The second part in effect acting as a safe guard. That is slightly different to how certain aspects of the media were reporting.</content>  </entry>

<content type="html">Hi Matt,
My previous reply can also be applied to your question. Choice, where appropriate (depending on gestation and medical history etc) is valued  by women and advised in the National Guidelines by the Royal College of Obsterics and Gynaecology (2004).</content>  </entry>

Research has found that giving women choice of abortion method is moe important than which method is chosen. Although my study did not look into this aspect of abortion care.</content>  </entry>
