Should there be ‘presumed consent’ for organ donations?
Wednesday, June 26th, 2019
Yes – Ontario, with these things in place, has seen donation rates double to 25 donors per million (DPM). Could an “opt-out” approach help Canada get from a donor rate of 22 DPM toward 40 DPM, the rates in the most successful countries in the world? / No – loosening permission requirements around donation could strike the more circumspect among us as too much boundary revision, too fast, with too little accountability.
