Organ donation policies vary greatly across the globe. A system where you can ‘Opt-in’ or ‘Opt-out’ can lead individuals to take better decision. ‘Opt-in’ system is one where people have to actively sign up and register so as to donate their organs after death. ‘Opt-out’ system is one wherein organ donation will occur automatically after death unless and until a specific request is made before death for organs not to be donated.
It is observed that ‘Opt-out’ system can help in higher number of donation and help the ones who require organ transplants. But on the other hand, organ donation without the expressed wish of the deceased could be distressing for the family. Both ‘Opt-in’ Vs ‘Opt-out’ system both have their own pros and cons. We would like to know your take on this sensitive topic.
