…..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.’//
