Opt-Out’ Donor System Could Save Hundreds Of Lives
According to experts an extra 300 vital transplants per year could be carried out if people were asked to 'opt out' of donating rather than the current 'opt in' system. The current system requires people to register their intent to donate on the Organ Donor Register; however there is a major problem with this system as people are often willing donors but never end up joining the register.
