Well, even if they did, at least this time they asked..

I don't think so with the scandal about organs being sold etc I think they have to make sure everything is done by the book!!

No, they need permission. Remember the scandal a few years ago?

It is doubtful, but not impossible, when you think about it, how would anyone know if they just took them, you are not likely to go back and ask where they are and want proof are you. I have had all sorts removed by surgery and have never been asked to donate anything, if they took them or not i have no idea, but if they did, as long as it helps medical science, i don;t mind. I think when a person dies it is a different matter though. I wouldn't like to think they took any organs from a deceased person, without the family's permission. But i have told my family, i don't care what they do with me or any parts when i die.

It is probably a concent form that is a tonsil research. you will need to sign anyway. But honestly I don't really understand ypur question. So I am pretty sure you will be signing things and doctors need your signature be4ore they can do anything medicalwise. but I hope your son is ok.
