All four UK nations operate an opt-out system for deceased organ donation. Adults who have not recorded a decision to opt out are deemed to have consented unless they belong to an excepted group such as children, recent residents or those lacking capacity. Families are still consulted and can block donation, and the number of deceased donors fell in 2025/26 with over 8,400 patients now on the active transplant waiting list.

Id rather get care for something then some technocrat decide my organs are better used elsewhere
For Spiritual reasons I think no-one should use the body or body parts of another person without giving it much thought.
Imagine how this could be abused.
Bloody hell theyvrun my life while im alive, ket me at least decide what i want to do when dead!!
Personal choice matters. Many people won't trust the medical establishment and their views should be respected.
More I read about this the more concerned I am. Drs use terms like ‘brain’ dead etc but undeniable fact is a person has to be alive so organs which are to be transplanted are viable. There are pressures to declare ‘dead’ & recently there was a case where the patient was very much alive but their organs had been committed so that person was killed for the financial interests of the hospital. It can happen here as Labour tried to bully MPs re assisted dying with few safeguards.
No the system of opting out is good enough
Although I have been on the Organ Donor register since I was 14 (my parents agreed with my decision & helped me sign up), I believe that everyone has a right to say no. Some for personal beliefs, some for religious. If people were given the option to opt out, as we can opt in right now, I might be persuaded to change my mind. Edited
No but I would be more persuaded by a scheme that is a default yes unless you have opted out.
Compulsory - No A default Yes, but with an Opt-out clause - Yes
