I’m inclined to like this law! Could be abused but , really the few times it would be abused (IDK :mafiosi takes out several rare blood type victims to get heart for his kid, maybe) Would be vastly outnumbered by the thousands of people whose lives would be saved or improved by this law!

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 7, 2018:

Really? Would you feel the same if is your child the one who loses his/her life because "a mafiosi deal"? I bet you won't.

@mattersauce No, dear, is not based on fear but in knowing very well / not trusting the people. I laugh at people who say "show some statistics".

This is coming in the UK too (I think the Welsh parliament already has it). The trouble is that doctors will still seek consent from the family. So if you are a registered donor (we do so on our driving licence), Please make sure your next of kin knows and is ready to give consent on your behalf.

@273kelvin I hope you are right...See, I am not an organ donor because laws like this one can lend itself to corruption.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:

@mattersauce First...I am not an idiot...so don't dismiss my concern about a government and/or mentality you don't know anything about. See, if the government changes...and we get a populist one such as Venezuela's ...or Mexico soon to be....anything could happen. Sure, people die by the second waiting for organs (Justina Lo Cano's case) but it doesn't mean this type of law is the solution. The way I see it organ trafficking has taking a new turn. You should watch the movie "Coma"(1970s) to get a bit of flavor on this issu e.

I heard about the opt out rather than opt in way before and think it is better. It would save lives and cut down on organ theft, as well as some of the other dishonest scammy organ buying practices that go in in some poorer places. You can always opt out if you are against it.

Under Justine Lwe now you have to state on writing that you wish to opt-out....otherwise you are in. Period.

If opting out is easy, I'm OK with this. You're dead, ffs. It would be easy to screw this up, though. Not sure how far I'd trust Argentinian government enforcement. But the concept sounds all right to me .

Dear...the "bad" business are a lot more common in rich countries than in the poorer ones....See, they go where the money is. No, the opt-out part of the law doesn't convince me. Another, the criminals will find a way to profit. I rather like the opt-in chance.

A rich guy needs a hearth and a poor person -who had a car accident is "ambulnced" to the hospital in critical stage....Oh, surprise, the poor dude dies and he is compatible with the rich guy....and this type of "incidents" becomes quite common. See, a transplants lives the hospital a lot more money than the amount any insurance would pay to bring back to health the victim of a car accident.

This rubs me the wrong way, just because it takes it out of a person's hands and puts the power in the state's. That government is best which governs least, and when it comes to your body, dead or alive, not at all. If you want, give the family the power to make the decision after death.
