No it wouldn't, it would just mean that those who are dying are people who opted not to give organs and the people who are living are those who opted to give organs.Quote:

Most people probably become organ donors due to driving license these days anyway.
also, on the topic if you were to be hospitalized today would you say "no give the organ to the guy next to me, I'm not on the donation list yet"? I'm sure as hell you wouldn't.

For most of the 2000s, Israel’s hovered around 45 percent—among the lowest in the developed world.
Today, however, Israel’s consent rates have jumped, to 56 percent in 2013
I don't make baseless posts, I actually research things before I enter into the debate as opposed to your favoured method of insulting and swearing at people I disagree with. Not posting links doesn't automatically make something an assumption.
You can look at the statistics for yourself, countries with opt-out systems (which I mentioned in my post and would be preferable to the one you've decided to comment on) have way better statistics than countries with opt-ins. Israel's donation rates jumped after implementing a priority system. Common sense also suggests it would increase.
The irony of you telling me off for "making assumptions" and doing so in the same breath. The UK has about 21 million people on the NHS donors list, so not most by a long shot.Quote:

Here's a source before you write my post off for not having one.
guys if u want to be an organ donor, do you only want your organs to go to someone who would donate theirs? the point is to save a life, not to pick and choose who gets it. being an organ donator doesn't mean you deserve to live and vice versa. im sure you'd all agree that a woman has a right to abort a baby but people can't accept that people have the right to choose what happens to their body after death.
its is exactly what I said in my other thread, you all have some sort of inability to see your view isn't the only one and are so intolerant of other people beliefs.
I'm not saying people not on the list should be refused.Quote:

to your first point, it has been said in this thread.Quote:

Not understanding something isn't the same as not tolerating it. I accept that you don't want to for whatever reason but I myself cannot understand it. If i quoted you and attacked your reasons then fair enough, but posting that I don't understand something is being intolerant, really?Quote:
