Yeah but is there even religious reasons not to be organ donors in most religions? Like I was brought up a Catholic and I never heard of it being against gods wishes to donate an organ :laugh:

That is not a choice.... You choose to do things or not, it shouldn't be presumed by a lack of action that you are complicit.

And should the system fail, will it be presumed you opted in or out?

It is a choice though, it's the same choice as now except the new way saves more peoples lives.

Re the BIB, I have no idea and honestly I couldn't care less. I'm sure a family member could decide if that were the case. And if you have none? well you're never going to know either way anyway because you're dead

It's not the same choice as now... If you opt in it is purely your decision, by having to opt out if you don't act then you are presumed complicit whether or not you were.

To have a organ ready for transplant it has to be harvested and prepped asap, one worry would be that you would be being prepped for organ removal before you yourself were dead, if you were not sufficiently viable. :/

So what? It makes more sense this way because this way it saves more lives

I have nothing to say on your second paragraph because I have zero knowledge on that

How about applying the question to official documents instead, say your tax or nat ins ones? I'd say that was a better way.

Nothing is certain, except death...and taxes :)

Can't say I've ever filled in anything about tax or NI, though. You only really do those documents if self-employed, otherwise it's all PAYE and you never see any of it (other than on your payslip).

Honestly, I like the idea that when I die, I could be saving another persons life, it's comforting. I don't need my organs when I die.

Council tax?...

As far as I'm aware I cant opt out of taxes . . . Unfortunately [emoji23]

I think it's a great idea and the way all countries should approach the issue. Asking people to carry a donor card is like asking people to consider their own death and not many people want to think about that.

I've never filled in a form for that either, they just plonk a big fat bill on the mat :joker:

Naw, you need to be into double digit millions before you can do that :joker:

Aint that the truth
