Wet op de Orgaandonatie: tegen een bezwaarsysteem

– The Organ Donation Act (1998) has not resulted in an increase in donated organs. However, it should not be changed from a system registering consent to post-mortem donation to one in which objection is registered. The consent system is more suitable to ensuring the freedom to donate or not, and a system registering objection may not increase the number of donated organs. More serious implementation of the current system could however achieve this.
