Organ donation bid to target new drivers

Drivers applying for new licenses from July will have to respond to a question about organ donation. This to increase donor numbers.

The new drivers get three options. Register to donate, say they already signed up or say they don't want to answer this question now. Under the DVLA's (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) scheme, you can skip the question, but it shows 8 million people signed up as donors. It is hoped to increase numbers by giving people the option to respond. If this pilot is successful, it could be used in other areas.

"Being an organ donor is a truly selfless act and is the ultimate gift anyone could give." ~ Anne Milton

Reaction: If it works, continue with it! I'm a donor myself, and the biggest problem is registration. I'm in favor of the presumed consent as well, but this could be troublesome for some religious groups. I do think you should not put this question everywhere, but as long as it does not offend people, it's a good method to raise registration and awareness.
