| Message | This legislation is rediculous - consent can never truly be tacit, and to 'presume' consent will allow an exploitation of the system. This is just another step towards Communism, where the State can seize not only property but parts of one's body without their express consent. Organ donations should be 'donations' only - not robberies. |

| Message | The REP considers this bill a severe intrusion into the private sphere of the individuals. A human being has absolute control over his or her own body and this right cannot be usurped in any circumstances. |
