England to consider optout organ donation A consultation on introducing an optout system for organ donation is to be held in England, ministers say.
Currently anyone who wants to donate their organs after death has to "opt in" through the donor card scheme.
But a new system, whereby it will be presumed an adult's body can be used in transplants in the absence of express permission, will now be considered.
Wales has already introduced an optout system, while Scotland has said it will be following suit. BBC News
