Organ donation - Opt-in or presumed consent which should it be? - blood donation consent form
In the UK there is a shortage of organs for transplantation, the Govt heavyhanded and "presumed intention should," or we must use persuasion to men to "opt-in to get" too. After all, we are being forced to blood donors.

Apart from the above being grammatically nonsense to the extent one has to guess what is meant. Looks like it has been badly translated from another language. Being from the UK I think it should be presumed that we do consent to organ donation after death, and we have to opt out. What is so bad about the system now, is that even though I have signed the organ donor register they will not use my organs if my family objects after my death. That is all wrong. The hospitals should abide by my wishes.

Opt-in ... If we accept that everyone wants to make a donation, it is a system in which the state owns our bodies ... and the body is a personal thing, about us.
Governments already "... Why should we accept to take away their right to know what they want after death, when they are still alive, as we do?
It can accept a system of presumed intention, but they need an "opt out" clause. So if people are indifferent difficult to remove!
