Rejected petition Make organ donation opt out rather than opt in with more education on donation
Rejected on
As of right now, the UK has a system in place where a person must opt into organ donation with a lack of education on how to donate organs after passing. I'm suggesting a change to which we follow a similar system to Spain in which a person must explicitly opt out of the organ donation register
