Organ donation in England has moved to an 'opt out' system. You may also hear it referred to as 'Max and Keira's Law'.

This means that all adults in England will be considered to have agreed to be an organ donor when they die unless they have recorded a decision not to donate or are in one of the excluded groups.

Your family will still be approached and your faith, beliefs and culture will continue to be respected.

You still have a choice whether or not you wish to become a donor. Get the facts about organ donation to help you decide.

What about the Hammond B3 that I inherited from my grandmother? She got it after a Frank Zappa tour for cleaning the seats on the bus. I don't want to donate that to just anybody.

Someone please teach OP the difference between England and the UK. This applies only to England.
