I love seeing two men go at it.

And may I also add, that the reason I believe that there are more people that would donate but don't carry a card or let their family know is because I am one of those people...
I have never thought about it before until this was brought to my attention and I 100% support the cause and have since signed up online to be an organ donor. Had anything happened to me prior to yesterday, I am saddened to think that my organs would have been wasted and by not taking 30 seconds (because that's all it took me to sign up...) out of my life, I would have not possibly helped someone prolong their life.
I am glad that this debate, if nothing else, might prompt people to 'Opt In'...

I honestly find it hard to see how anyone could be against the opt out system. If you don't want to donate for your own reasons that is your perogative - but there are clearly many people that would donate but don't carry a card or let their family know and many people waiting for an organ die because of this.
I heard yesterday that 4 out of 10 relatives refuse permission for taking organs of their loved one - I find this statistic quite shocking. I can't quite believe that as many as 4 in 10 would object; is this due to the fact that they have simply not signed up for organ donation or let a relative know? Especially considering 90% of people said they support organ donation when polled in 2003. (Source: UK Transplant Society)
I think we'd all know which side we'd fall on if God forbid a loved one or we; required an organ.
Is perhaps the only real issue of Opt Out - Consent and the ethical boundaries that surround it?

I think with crimes all being very different - it's very hard if not impossible to draw the lines in regards to where we would and wouldn't issue a death penalty.
And I do agree with earlier points posted by Pelle - it is frightening that it would be possible for an innocent person to be punished by death.
I believe prevention is better than cure - maybe by re-instating the death sentence, it would cut crime rates...? It would certainly slash the amount of re-offenders
