| Message | We oppose. Under the current system, a person can opt out if they want to be callous and not donate their organs. That is all the personal choice they need. |

| Message | To a point, maybe however we are taking away their right to give consent. |
| Date | 03:28:45, January 27, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Organ Donation Act |
| Message | In the same way, this bill will remove a person's right to refuse consent. On balance, the current law is better for all parties concerned. |

| Message | To borrow your point but to turn it on its ear, by not giving consent to have their organs donated, they made their choice in that regard. |
