    Organ donation should be mandatory with only exceptional opt out. The idea that people die whilst perfectly good organs go un – donated (for whatever reason) is beyond silly, and a wasted opportunity.

    That’s a ridiculous statement of course people should have a choice whether they donate there organs even though I think everybody should do it as the woman said u only need to tick a box

    The problem is a relative can over rule your decision when your dead. So I believe. That’s why it’s important to speak about it before hand with next of kin. So your wishes are granted.

    So you think the state should have total control of your body when you die, would this mean they would be responsible for funeral expenses

    I agree organ donation should be opt out rather than opt in.

    Simple fix instead of signing up to be an organ donor why not change it to sign up not to be
