Default OT: Organ donation should be compulsory, not just "opt out"

You cannot do compulsory while respecting the beliefs of others. Yes they
can make it opt out, I was under the impression it already was in England.

Scotland and Canada are (thinking of) changing to "opt out" for organ
donation. Why? Why not just make it mandatory? You're dead, you don't
need those organs. Why waste the doctor's time on paperwork? Why murder
someone after your death who could have been saved by your body parts? And
no I don't care if you have some crazy religion.



At least here in the U.S., they attempt to make contact with the
relatives of the dying person, before transplanting organs solely
based on the individual's identification card, which expresses that he
or she is an organ donor. My driver's license indicates that i would
donate organs, but I'm pretty sure they'd still ask my family about it
if they were able to contact them.
