Should organ donation be opt-out?
Or should we keep the current system of opt-in?
Every day one person dies because a suitable donor hasn’t been found for them - whether it’s a new heart, kidney or liver these people could be saved if enough people opted in to organ donation.
So, why don’t we have a system of presumed consent? At the moment around 20% of the population are registered as donors but it is thought that as many as 70% would be willing to donate their organs after death.
