| Message | we are in a shortage of organs for transplants. Very little people donate organs becuase they do not know about the system or they just cant be stuffed going to the government for it..... if consent was assumed everyone would have to donate, unless they objected.. no reason is required..... it benefits our health system greatly |

| Message | We agree with a couple of proposal, and oppose another few. We would like to encourage the CFAAP to leave bills in debate for a couple of days so other parties can bring in arguments or suggestions. |

| Message | We agree with the NS on this one. Also, it may be wiser to make seperate bills for each one, as it increases the chances of it gettting passed. Though we believe that organ donation is a good thing, it should not occur unless the donor has specifically stated so. |
