It is important to be prepared for their response. There may be pushback as this can be uncomfortable. Hopefully, they will be open to explore. Stress that it is better to have these discussions and your wishes be known than for a family to wonder and possibly regret a decision later.

So, if this something you really DO NOT want, it is up to you to register your decision on the Organ Donor website. This is often another topic that can cause upset and distress for relatives as the decision to harvest organs and tissue has to made very quickly after a person dies.
