Potential Limitations of Presumed Consent Legislation
Transplantation, 2012A causal link has been proposed between presumed consent (PC) and increased donation; we hypothesized that too much heterogeneity exists in transplantation systems to support this inference. We explored variations in PC implementation and other potential factors affecting donation rates.

Presuming Consent, Presuming Refusal: Organ Donation and Communal Structure
Health Care Analysis, 2000Donating, distributing and ultimately transplanting organs each has distinct ethical problems. In this paper I suggest that the first ethical question is not what should be done but what is a fair way in which each of these problems can be addressed. Experts--whether these be transplant surgeons, policy analysts, political scientists or ethicists--can ...

British Journal of Nursing, 2008For people suffering organ failure, transplantation is the accepted treatment to improve quality and length of life.

Normative consent and presumed consent for organ donation: a critique
Journal of Medical Ethics, 2010Ben Saunders claims that actual consent is not necessary for organ donation due to ‘normative consent’, a concept he borrows from David Estlund.

Presumed Consent, Autonomy, and Organ Donation
The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, 2004I argue that a policy of presumed consent for cadaveric organ procurement, which assumes that people do want to donate their organs for transplantation after their death, would be a moral improvement over the current American system, which assumes that people do not want to donate their organs.

Presumed consent further undermines medical ethics
BMJ, 2000EDITOR—The proposed campaign for presumed consent for organ donation1 brings to mind the phrase with which Ronald Reagan demolished his presidential opponent: “There you go again.” We have had guidelines sanctioning the withdrawal of nutrition and hydration from patients if this is judged by their doctors …

How presumed is presumed consent?
Transplantation proceedings, 1996All things considered, one is tempted to answer the question in the title: How presumed is presumed consent? Not very, or not at all. It is evident that, regardless of the law, be it opting in or opting out, presumed consent or presumed nonconsent, the family is almost always consulted. The family has the preferential right of interpretation.

Independence for Wales: a change from informed consent to presumed consent
Cell and Tissue Banking, 2014Wales lost its legal independence in 1536 when the Act of Union with England was enacted in London. We have continued to resent the situation and when opportunities offer themselves our national desires emerge. Welsh Nationalist members have been elected from Wales to the British Parliament and continue to remind our English neighbours that we are ...
