Default Re: Should organ donation after death be opt-in or opt-out?

Quote:
The government is on the verge of approving a change in the organ donation system. Instead of having to opt in as necessary at present, those who don’t wish to be automatically considered as donors would have to opt out instead.

Something few are aware of is that the donor must be alive when the decision is made to take their organs. If they have been dead for longer than a very short while, their organs are worthless. Corneas, skin and bone can be donated up to several hours after death.

Start of a short article that sums up the reasons against opt-out.
