Good to see this is going through.

Be interesting to see the reasons for opting out, I can't think of any rational objections.

I carried an organ donor card for years.

I am now opting out because I refuse to have anybody make decisions like that for me. Tough on those that would otherwise benefit but how dare the authorities try to presume what I want to do based on their wishes rather than mine.

All they had to do was ask people nicely rather than dictate, but they're too arrogant for that.

Interesting. Odd, but interesting.

I see your point but the outcome in this instance is somewhat strange.

I'm happy for consent to be implied.

But I'm not- that's the whole point. They have the ability to ask but have screwed it up.

Would you like to take the high ground and still donate even given how silly the government has been, just in case it saves someone's life?

Thanks for the heads up.

Opted out

For purposes of discussion, may I ask why?
