Change organ donation to "Opt-out" rather than "Opt-in" ie Be assumed you want to unless you specifically say no.

Created by B.W. on December 05, 2012

Apathy ruins lives. Many people want to be organ donors but are too lazy to fill in the form. Or decide to be organ donors but their families over-rule that choice once they die. Our country has LONG waiting lists for people needing life-saving organ donations.
All I ask is that the assumption be automatically made that people wish to be an organ donor. If they do NOT want to be then the onus is on them to "opt-out" of the program. This has been done in other countries and they have enjoyed massive increases in life-saving operations due to it.
All this is, is a simple switch from currently "opt-in" to "opt-out", with the potential to save many thousands of lives every year.
