Yes, I carried a donor card for a while, the registered online, but I will be asking for my name to be removed from the list if the new regulations go ahead.

It is about the principle of assumed consent.
When you have any kind of surgery, the doctor has to give you information that you can understand so that you can make 'informed consent'...the hospital does not assume that because you have turned up, you give your consent.
