Organ donor registry choked by red tape

What, a surprise?

See the "Fair Notice" post as well.

We need an online organ donor registry?

Fair Notice

"An important change in how organ and tissue donation decisions are registered in Ontario.

Now, when you register or renew your health card at a ServiceOntario Office, you will be advised that only a “YES” to organ and tissue donation is being collected and stored in the OHIP database."

Is this a leap towards
"Presumed Consent",

or maybe the (a)
Reverse-onus provision?


Have you registered a decision of “No” or
“Undecided” regarding organ and tissue donation?

Chief medical officer condemns organ donor decision

"The government's chief medical officer last night lashed out at the decision to ditch planned reforms for organ donations, warning that dying patients had been left on a 'knife-edge of despair'."

The benefits of 'opting out' are overstated

Is "TRUST" or the lack of trust in the current policy system of "self regulation" significant?

Hospital to bury unclaimed organs

Organ-donor rules wait till after Ontario election

Reverse-onus provisions that say that your organs can be harvested whether you like it or not equate us to produce from an agricultural enterprise that provides life sustaining food for us.

Is this morally or ethically acceptable reasoning to equate organ donation to organ harvesting in this manner?

Can the harvesters be trusted?
