Preamble:
An Act to create an organ donation scheme in which it is presumed that citizens of Ostentia consent to organ donation unless they remove themselves from the organ donation register, an opt-out scheme.

SECTION 1 (DEFINITION OF ORGAN DONATION):
(1) An organ is defined as any human body part internal or external;
(2) Organ donation as described in this Act is the transplantation of an organ from a deceased donor to a donee who is registered on the Organ Donation Waiting List.

SECTION 2 (SCHEME DETAILS):
(1) Upon reaching the age of 18, it is presumed that a citizen of Ostentia consents to registration on The Ostentian Organ Donation Register unless;

( a ) The citizen revokes their consent by completing an opt-out form to be lodged with the Register Office.

(2) The Ostentian Organ Donation Register regulates the transplantation of organs as described in Section 1 of this Act, by matching organs from deceased donors registered on The Ostentian Organ Donation Register with patients on the Organ Donation List.

(3) Citizens under the age of 18 will not be presumed to consent to organ donation, but may donate organs should their parents or guardians give consent prior to, or at the time of, death.

(4) If a citizen is registered on the Ostentian Organ Donation Register at the time of their death, next of kin are unable to revoke consent for organ donation, unless the Court gives leave.

(5) Organ donation is not for profit.

Edit: These are the Acts under Health:
Boo Health Service Act
Emergency Vehicles Act
Hospital Hygiene Standards Act
Standard Medical Examinations Act
Smoking Cards Act
Duty of Private Healthcare Act
Medical Research Act
Compulsory Chlamydia Screening Act
Abortion Legalisation Act

This is really weird - I swear that this has been done before, but I can't find any record of it... :unsure:

EDIT: Found it http://government.ostentia.com/index.php?showtopic=2656

Dingley made a bill and it got a lot of support, but was never moved...
