Will change to organ donor rules mean more transplants? In an attempt to make more organs available for transplant, ministers are proposing a radical change by moving to a system of "presumed consent".
Current rules in England mean those willing to donate their organs, should they die, sign up to a donor register.
A consultation on the new system, which would see opting out of organ donation replacing opting in, starts on Tuesday.
Wales has already adopted an approach of presumed consent. Scotland plans to introduce a similar scheme. BBC News
