Comment on Oopsies
leisesprecher@feddit.org 1 week agoGermany is currently considering a third way: they ask you.
Everyone in Germany has health insurance, so the idea is that the health insurance simply asks you directly to decide. Most people are in favor of organ donation, but never actually get an organ donor card or talk to their relatives. Asking them to decide won’t get anywhere near the donor rates of an opt-out scheme, but it could drastically increase them.

That sounds promising, I think you’re right that it would be a significant improvement in donor rates over the opt-in system.
