This is going to be interesting...
Just noticed I have nowt left in my inhaler and I have a hideous feeling there's an asthma event about to happen.
I'm a good eight miles from the nearest safety.
Oh fuck.
Calm.
Breathe.
CALM!!!!!
*panics*

Heart of the matter

The shortage of human organs for transplant means doctors should be able to take them from any dead body unless the person has registered their refusal, the chief medical officer said today.
The NHS needs three times the number of organ donors on its register, Sir Liam Donaldson said.
Back in 2003, doctors proposed a radical change in medical law to allow the NHS to buy organs from live donors in Britain and Europe.
It was debated in closed session by the British Medical Association, the powerful organisation representing doctors throughout the UK. It was overruled.
I have to say I automatically recoil from the idea of our bodies being donated to the State as a matter of course.
It is for an individual to decide, in a deliberate and dignified way, whether they want to donate organs.
It is not for the State to assume it may chop up our bodies as it pleases.
The establishment seems to be under the impression we are toiling under a Marxist regime that can alter the laws of humanity overnight - without debate or question.
Has this executive no respect for the individual any more?
