Yeah, we've done this one on PH before, and although I agree with you, you are in for a bumpy thread wink Prepare to be murdered by the keyboard warriors.
I just want to make my own choices in life rather than have the state still interfere when I'm dead.

It isn't for the state to assume ownership of bits of me. It's for me to make the proactive choice.

Typical that a think tank set up to give an opinion decides it's not a good idea, so Brown decides he wants to ignore it anyway.
Let's assume that 70% of people opt out - that also creates yet more civil service non-jobs processing opt out forms to be then left on a database in a tapas bar somewhere.

I am more than capable of making morally correct decisions about what to do with my body, I am just sick to death of this government poking it's odious totalitarian fingers into my personal space.
