The article raises a question. Since we have vasculitis related auto immune diseases and take very strong suppressant medicines to combat its effect on our bodies we cannot be blood donors (See Richard E and John Mills replies on that.) I therefore must presume that organ donation is also out of the question for us too.

Perhaps someone could clarify this?

John is on the Organ Donor register. As is all the family. The important point is to be on the register.

Not what you're looking for?
