WESTMINSTER, United Kingdom, February 14, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The House of Lords has passed a bill that will allow the English branch of the National Health Service to take the organs of anyone who dies without “opting out” of organ donation.
On February 1, the Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill 2017-19 was passed by the House of Lords at the committee stage without alteration and will soon be signed into law. The new law will assume that residents of England have consented to the removal of their organs after death for transplant if they have not registered their objection to it. Matters pertaining to health are a devolved issue in the United Kingdom, and Wales has already passed similar legislation.
Currently in England and Scotland, doctors may remove organs for transplant only if the donor has given prior consent and his or family does not object.
In an intervention in the House of Lords, Lord McColl of Dulwich, a former transplant surgeon, argued that the government’s presumption of silent consent would erode the trust of patients in their doctors and reduce the “total pool” of donors. He called for an amendment to assure patients that the will of their families in the matter outweighs the state’s opinion.
“For anyone who is unfamiliar with the world of organ donations and assumes that only those who have signed the organ donor register can be donors, it is easy to see the huge appeal of deemed consent,” he said.
“If 37% of people have signed the donor register, then introducing deemed consent is clearly attractive; even if this provoked 10% of people to opt out, one would still be increasing the total pool of donors from 37% to 90%—a huge boost,” he continued.
“But this is not how organ donation works.”

You belong to the State, you are a Prisoner. You are Number 6.
Be seeing you.
Even if you explicitly opt out they still get your organs. Too much money to be made.
Better hope like hell nobody (rich/powerful) wants your heart, liver, kidneys...
Cause if they do - you are toast.
*Gil the Arm* (Larry Niven)was a scifi book that looked at organlegging - both Black market and the Gov’t types.

Muzzies don't like anything white Anglo, and there aren't that many Englishmen left that can afford a kidney, so ...
why ?
Next comes Euthanasia, then just never get old in Jolly Old England!
It’s not like I’m going to be needing them, anyway.
Hope you have better luck with them than I did.
Coming here soon.
Already here in the abortuaries.
Many Americans discuss organ donation with skeptics the way many here talk to/about “anti-vaxxers”.
Then there was DNR Tattoo Guy…
Aborted babies, cadavers, then eventually you (especially if you have the right blood type for the correct rich recipient).
They’ll be forcing executions soon on us peasants when folks like Darth Soros needs your liver for a transplant.
Even in the USA, I think they take what they want, even though you’ve expressly chosen not to be a donor. Not sure if it’s true, but have read this, especially when it comes to eyes.
Caroline Farrow, the well-known English Catholic commentator, told LifeSiteNews that she found the new law “extremely concerning.”
“It treats our bodies as though they are properties of the state,” she said via social media.
Fascism lets you own it but they control it.
So, must infidels first be beheaded after death for their organs to be transplanted into Muslims?
(with the current demographics it will become a real thorny theological/legal problem soon, though one that the cowardly Brit rulers will not fail to address affirmatively.)
i would gladly let them do it, if the govt could only be trusted!
On the good news front, the will apparently wait until you are actually dead.
Unless they really need something for someone more deserving and speed things up a bit, of course.
Cue the Monty Python “Bring out your dead” bit, please.
Which proves that old people are worth more dead than alive. “Here take this pill. It will do you good.”
“The House of Lords has passed a bill that will allow the English branch of the National Health Service to take the organs of anyone who dies..,”
I’d like to see these punters wake up in a bathtub of ice minus a kidney.
I believe they already are. I remember reading that after Alistair Cooke died, some of his bones were removed by the morticians, and replaced with PVC piping.
