No, you have to opt in*.

Why wouldn't you opt in?
If you can no longer make use of kidneys/heart/whatever give someone else a chance!!!

[HustleRussell]

Exactly, I'm in and I think that it should be done on an 'opt out' basis.

I'm in as well,how about you are only entitled to receive if you are on the register to give.Pretty sure more would sign up then.

[sodslaw]

Very soon after I opted in.. I ended up agreeing to get cut open!

Everything is ok now




I don't know why anyone wouldn't opt in.

(As for the legal stuff.. I also believe even if you opt in and die.. Next of kin can 'cancel' your opt in - which is silly IMO)

Religion is a big one. Some interpretations of some old story books forbid it.

I must remember to stop being an ignorant atheist sometimes

Indeed! Ignorance is the preserve of the religious. We Atheists are expected to know stuff.
