Does that happen? I'd have thought their religion/culture would prevent them from accepting a donor organ.

Yes to 1.
I don't think 2 would be viable,but I do get annoyed when people who say their religion/culture won't allow them to be donors are happy to accept organs from other people.

I agree. Yes to 1. No to 2.

opt out. Enough pussy footing already.
I think the second option would be too tricky to administrate. Matching donors to those in need is a difficult thing at the best of times. And what about children?

Opt-in. Definitely yes.

Priority should be given to those most in need.

1/ should we now have an opt-out (as in many European countries) rather than an opt-in system?

2/ perhaps more contentious - should people who agree to be organ donors, have priority when there is such a shortage?
