Organ donation consultation – how can you get involved?
The government plans to change the organ donation system in England to an ‘opt-out’ system. Under that system, unless a person states a wish not to be a donor (opts out), their consent to donation will be deemed to have been given. They want to find out what people think of how the changes should be made. Whatever your views on organ donation, now is the time to share them.

Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner writes on presumed consent in the Jewish news and Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain in the Huffington Post.
