Wales could become the only UK country with an opt-out organ donation system if politicians vote to change the law.

The Welsh government wants to introduce a system where individuals will be presumed to have consented for their organs to be donated after death unless they have specifically objected.

But opponents want families to be able to stop a donation if their relative did not express an opinion either way.

Ministers want to increase the number of donors for transplant by a quarter.

It would mean a change from the current opt-in system, where would-be donors have to sign a register.
It's already been stated elsewhere that the rest of the UK is likely to follow.

I don't have an issue with it. I'm on the donor register and have been for yonks.

I heard a legal type on the radio this morning saying that presumed consent was against EU law and that everybody in the UK would have to be written to to tell them of the change in law. Otherwise it's a no-go.

Maybe they can organise consent forms when people apply for driving licences or passports. :dunno:

They can have mine if any of them still function - which is actually unlikely.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but my concern would be how hard they'd try to save my life if I hadn't opted out of this new organ donation programme.

No, I acknowledge that and share your distrust.
