Without seeing the doco... Australians should be required to donate organs as a matter of tacit acceptance. If you fill out a form stating that you do not want your organs donated, then fine. Otherwise to the chopshop!!
@ elbeau thanks for your donations, I think I may be one of your recipients as my music appreciation is stronger now after my transplant than before. anecdotal stories suggest this is possible

Could you please elaborate?
I'm think longwinded is referring to an opt out instead of opt in, whereby everyone is considered a donor unless they sign up to not be a donor. (ie opt out). Makes sense to me, however some say it would reduce the number of potential donors.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong. Up until about 2-3 years ago, being an organ donator in WA was as simple as ticking a box on your driver licence renewal form. This has now changed. I am as guilty as everyone else who hasn't done anything about this. You now need to fill out a special form or make it inclusive in your will to donate organs in WA. There was a guy at Perth City Rail Station handing out forms last week. Dont know if he is still there. Plan to recifiy this oversight shortly
The tick box on the driver's licence is worthless, unfortunately. Not even looked at when discussing these things.
And your own views are worthless too - unless you let your family know about them. TELL YOUR LOVED ONES YOUR VIEWS - including if you do NOT want to donate your organs
