    Under presumed consent, all individuals would be considered organ donors upon death unless they opted out of the program. This could significantly increase the number of organs available for transplant compared to the current opt-in system, since many people intend to donate but do not take the step of registering. However, some argue that presumed consent may infringe on personal autonomy or that not all individuals would be happy donating organs to strangers.

    Presumed Consent

    This means that everyone, when they die, donates their organs to hospitals for transplants unless they opt out. Currently you have to register to be an organ donor.

    4/15/12

    A lot of people are willing to donate organs, but cant be bothered to register. The waiting list for transplants is very long, so some people have to wait a long time before they find a donor. Some may die before they can get a transplant because they cant find a donor in time.

    If presumed consent was used then a lot more organs would be available to 4/15/12
