Perhaps the most current notable distinct Welsh law currently under consideration is about presumtion of organ donation upon death, an opt out system rather than the opt in used currently.
Sounds like a good law to me


Agreed and I think something that should be brought in for the whole of the UK. Much easier for everyone at a very stressful time.

What an incredibly prejudiced, erroneous, and offensive statement. Way to lump all people of a nation into one group.

If you're not capable of working that out for yourself then it's not my place to bash a semblance of intelligence into you.

It doesn't work like that.

Clinical governance isn't a simplistic thing, much as people wish it were.

What can it possibly matter to you...you are dead! It's nothing but decomposing meat.

It's so amusing to watch children talk about adult topics :)

Go away, do some research, understand the issues for both the patient and their families, then learn about Clinical Governance, then spend about a decade in the industry, then come back and apologise for being sub-normal.

Except there's no definition of "British", since we were, and indeed are, a mongrel nation. Anyone attempting to stop time at a specific point, in order to pin a definition, is an idiot.

Whenever I hear someone try to define "British", in terms of race, my mind instantly paints the word "moron" in 10 foot high letters.

c.f. the BNP, etc ...


The term British comes from the term Brythonic, who were Celts, along with the Picts and the Gaels go back to the iron ages. The lived as far north as the Firth Of Forth, the Picts and Gaels lived north of that. I guess technically speaking the lowlands were originally British, just dont tell the Scots. The original Brits moved to what is now Wales, Cornwall and Brittany ( In France ) Where the Brythonic language was kept alive until localised forms derived.

The term English comes from the Angles, who occupied much of the eastern side of the UK from around the 5th Century. England as a State was unified around 900 AD, between the differing English Kingdoms

I`m not so sure people who dont wish to be cut about after death are crackpots. Anyhow, I am about to have a few beers and damage my liver, anyone who wants it when Im gone send me a CM.

Ding. Smart bloke wins a goldfish.

The legal implications are epic in size; the very first time someone's family object legally, the entire system would crumble, because it's contrary to a number of long-established clinical protocols, to say nothing of the purely legal aspects as they pertain not just to UK law, but to European law as well.

It would be a move of unprecedented stupidity. So it's somehow fitting that the welsh may give it a go.

More likely though is that it'll soak up a load of money, in legal and political time, then (once said money has been wasted), it'll be quietly dropped. Bravo.

Well Sir, what is sad is to see such sweeping generalizations. My father is studying his PhD at the University of Wales. And I can assure you he is surrounded by many brilliant minds contributing to the latest research in their respective fields. My mother, Welsh, is also finishing her doctorate. And I, also Welsh, teach at a university. But I suppose we are all just highly trained performing chimps who should go back to digging coal mines.

It'd be for the best. All that'll happen otherwise is you'll seek to improve a nation that cannot be improved.

I'm just sparing you and yours the pain of disappointment.

Don't thank me, it's all part of the service.

NOW, see? That's a joke.

During a class on cultural differences, the teacher held up a pencil and called on Tommy...

Teacher: Tommy, is this an English pencil or a Welsh pencil?
Tommy: It's an English pencil, Ma'am.
Teacher: Very good, Tommy! And how could you tell?
Tommy: Because, Ma'am, it has no point.

Sorry, I just can't see any reason not to donate whatever is needed for whatever purpose it may be needed, despite your insults. If one of my kids were to die, I would donate whatever was donatable, when my parents die I will be in favour of donating whatever is usable for whatever purpose.
It has nothing to do with experience in the field, it has simply to do with common sense...the dead person has no further use for the body parts, the dead person's family has no further use for the body parts...in fact nobody but the transplant/research people do have a use for the body parts.
Simple and straight forward, and if a person, for whatever reason, wishes not to then they can opt out, I don't see the problem, and if you could present even one rational reason why the law is bad, then perhaps we could discuss it, but since you are so high & mighty, and so clearly superior, I guess there isn't much hope of that.
