Has organ donation changed your life?

Bobby Doherty is about to meet someone special. When Margaret Valsechi watches him compete at the British Transplant Games she Will know her son's heart beats in his chest. Bobby was dying, his heart was failing - doctors said he had no more than three months to live. Margaret's son was killed in a car accident, but in a sense he lives on.

220 people in Kent are waiting for a life-saving or life-changing transplant. Seven died last year still waiting.

Is it fair to assume we all want to donate our organs when we die? Should we have an opt out system instead of opting in.
What should happen to your body when you die?

Are you a hoarder? Or does someone in your family collect clutter? Perhaps you grew up in a house full of stuff that never seemed to get thrown out?

Jasmine Harman knows only too well what it is like to live with a hoarder - her mum is one. You may have seen her on the documentary she made - "My Hoarder Mum and Me." Well, now she's making another show about hoarding and we hear from her today.

We hear your views and stories.
