The BODY website address www.argonet.co.uk/body and email address body@argonet.co.uk are both still active addresses.
These addresses link to the default addresses: body.orpheusweb.co.uk (note body. replaces www.) and body@orpheusmail.co.uk
Unfortunately the domain addresses www.bodyuk.org and body@bodyuk.org are presently broken.
It has become necessary to rebuild this BODY website. Until finished many links will not connect to the requested webpages.

Friends of BODY.
You may be a organ and tissue donor in the future but you can help immediately by assisting BODY to enable people to make informed and voluntary choices regarding organ and tissue donation.
Please select Friends
You can now enter your name to join the NHS Organ Donor Register via the UK Transplant Homepage and select appropriate links.
It is very important to tell your family, close relatives and friends about your decision regarding organ and tissue donation. They will need to know to confirm your wishes. Likewise you will need to know their wishes in case you are asked about their wishes to be an organ/tissue donor.
