What do you think about the new organ donation law? (Opt out)

[Nameitychangity]

Not sure if this across the whole NHS but the leaflet received today is from NHS Scotland.
The organ donation law is changing on 26th March, we will now have an 'opt out' system which means that if you do not specifically register yourself as NOT wanting to donate your organs and tissue after death, then the law will allow your body to be used for organ and tissue transplantation.
What do you think? I'm already an organ donor so it doesn't change things for me personally but it does leave me slightly uncomfortable and gives me the feeling that you do not have control over your own body after death, in fact the state 'owns' it unless you specifically make an effort to declare otherwise. Is this right?
Leaflet also states "if you do nothing it will also mean you agree to certain medical tests and procedures that may be carried out before your death as part of the donation process".
What do you think of an 'opt out' system? Is it fair enough that if you don't register that your body can be used after death?
YABU - I'm dead, they can do whatever they want with my body and I'm happy for my organs and tissue to be used
YANBU - the system should remain opt in and 'opt out' systems are not right

I'm in England and opted out when the law changed, as it was no longer a donation but smash and grab.

You’ll be dead - why would you object to someone else benefitting from your organs. It’s not like they are any use to you.

To all those saying they would opt out - would you be happy to accept an organ from someone else if you needed it?

I would happily give anything anyone wants when I am dead, but this attitude really boils my piss. As some posters have said, dishing out this kind of manipulative, emotional blackmail is a shitty way to behave.

It's the same kind of person who says anyone who has never paid anything into the state should not be able to claim anything. Be that disabled people, or young mums, or just young people in general, who perhaps didn't have the best start in life, and are still out of work at 18-20 y.o. Haven't paid anything in? Starve then, and starve in a cardboard box, because you don't deserve a home.

If people want to opt out of organ donation, it's usually for a good reason, and they should not be punished, by way of refusal of treatment, or organ transplant etc. They should not be refused treatment, any more than people should be refused blood if they have never donated it.
