| Message | The entire point of assumed consent is that it still does give the person the option to choose, but in cases where they haven't thought about it, the decision is made for them. The organs do nobody any good once the deceased is...well...deceased, and this current policy allows the squeamish to avoid any tough decisions and facing of their own mortality. |
| Date | 15:13:58, February 29, 2008 CET | From | Republican Coalition | To | Debating the Organ Donation Bill |
| Message | Agreement with the GPRP, the dead person does not need the organs. If they have something actually against the process then they will state so. |
