Rejected petition Make organ donation compulsory, with an option to opt out.

Instead of signing up to donate, it would be signing up to not donate. This would increase the amount and availability of organs to people who need them, which would otherwise go to waste.

More details

Lots of people don't mind if their organs are donated, they just never sign up for the organ donation list. Those organs go to waste. If organ donation was compulsory then those organs would automatically go to help someone. If people are against organ donation for any reason then they can sign a non donation register to opt out.
