Re: the ethics of organ donating

As far as im aware the biggest problem for organ harvesting is the next of kin. Currently doctors have to ask the next of kin for permission to harvest at what would bee the most difficalt time for them to make a sound desision. The easiest way to overcome this while still ensuring peoples views are respected is a 3 teir system.

1) opt in (register on database) NO NEXT OF KIN PERMISSION NEEDED.
2) If your not a registered doner (maby the deceised hasnt bothered but the n.o.k is aware of their feelings) the n.o.k can give permission (effectivly the opt-out sceme)
3) total opt-out if your registered on the opt-out list then your organs MUST bee burried/burned with you.

run this 3 teir system and you will proberlly get a 10x yeld in organs as it cuts out the biggest hurdle in gettin organs (n.o.k permissions).
