How should we deal with organ donation?
Every day people die while waiting on a transplant list for ograns such as kidneys, livers, hearts and lungs. Some organs can be donated as a live donation (eg. liver or kidney) while others are only donated after death (hearts and lungs). There are a few differnet ways of getting organ donations major ones include
Assuming people are not donnors unless other wise specified by patcient of family
Assuming people are donnors unless otherwise specified by paticent or family
Along with previously mentioned, you must be an organ donor in order to recieve organs
How would you fix the organ shortage issue? Should families be able to opt-in or out of organ donation after the deseased has already chosen? How should we deal with people who are brain dead?

In general there are not enough organs available. And different countries have different rules about assuming people are donors or saying you must be willing to donate to recieve. Also there are rules about if families can choose some other than the patient said before dying. 1
