I am torn on this issue also. My worry is hospitals desperate for a doner may not show the same degree of care when deciding if a potential doners life can be saved or not.

In principle I think it is wrong to carve up a body without direct permission beforehand.

Before going down this opt out road I think they should try more at direct appeals for doners and on a regular basis on our TV screns and radio.....

Also I think potential doners should be given financial incentives to donate such as funeral expenses being paid by the state for the family of a doner.

Hospitals have to purchase drugs and technology so why should they not have to purchase donated organs......
