All Adults Will Be Presumed To Be Organ Donors …
…..unless they explicitly opt out.
//An opt-out system for organ donation will soon become law after it passed its last hurdle in Parliament.
Campaigners hope the new system will encourage us to make our wishes known before we die, with an online register for those opting out.
Research has shown more than 80 per cent of adults in England would definitely donate their organs or would consider doing so. However, only 37 per cent of Britons have registered as donors on the NHS Organ Donor Register and received a donor card.
However, Professor Chris Rudge, a leading transplant surgeon, has said he would opt out on the grounds that the State should not presume to take a citizen’s organs. Last year he said: ‘Organ donation should be a present … I am so horribly opposed to a change in the law.’//

If nothing else this thread shows that there's no limit to the insane flights of fancy embarked on by some.

I actually think this is a very good thing and long overdue but it will need national coordination for it to be successful. When it (presumed consent) was introduced organ donations actually fell in some countries.

Woof, if you were one of the approx 6000 people or a member of their family, you might think differently

That's what bothers me, ael. Almost everyone I've talked to about this says they're not registered donors because they don't want their body meddled with WHEN THEY'RE NOT IN IT but they'll take a transplant if they need one. Same with blood donation. Come on, everyone. If you want to receive you should be prepared to give.
I'm all for it. There is an option to not do it so it is not the State claiming your body. If you dont want to do it opt out.
I have always been a registered doner whoever needs any bits from me they are welcome and then any students that need a practice can have the rest.
As for those that opt out, I've said it on here before as far as I am concerned they are at the bottom of the queue. No point in wasting it if the organ cant be used on another who is registered but if you wont let anyone have yours then dont expect to take others.
