Most 'back presumed organ consent'
Updated on 19 October 2007
A large majority of the population support the idea of an "opt-out" system of organ donation, it was claimed.
The Government is considering bringing in the change which would mean everyone giving "presumed consent" for their organs to be used after death.
At present organs can only be taken from people who have actively chosen to be donors, and carry donor cards. Results from a British Medical Association (BMA) survey showed that 64% of those taking part thought Britain should adopt the new system.
