Default Isreal - new way to get more organ donors

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100314/...l_organ_donors

Quote:
Israel is launching a potentially trailblazing experiment in organ donation: Sign a donor card, and you and your family move up in line for a transplant if one is needed.

The new law is the first of its kind in the world, and international medical authorities are eager to see if it boosts organ supply. But it has also raised resistance from within Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jewish minority.
I personally think that's a fantastic idea.

I like the concept of being a default organ donor. If you don't want to donate, then you should be forced to fill out forms.

I agree with this. I kinda understand that some people get the willies just thinking about doctors gripping their organs after death, but IMO, people should have to specify that they're NOT willing to donate rather than that they are.

I like this idea.

I could also deal with everyone being one by default, but that seems kinda Big Brotherish to me for some reason that I can't quite place.
