Thoughts? Good or bad idea? I think it's great, I think most people would be happy to be donors just couldn't be bothered going to the trouble of registering as a donor. If you feel strongly against donating you can always opt out

A new Irish organ donor law has been proposed that will presume everyone is an organ donor in the event of their death.

The “opt out” system is designed to increase organ donation.

Minister for Health will take the plan to Cabinet and if passed it’s hoped the law could be in place before the end of the year.

According to the Irish Times, the Human Tissue Bill will put a system of “presumed consent” in place to replace the current law which requires organ donors to opt-in if they wish to make their organs available for transplantation following their death.
