Article Synopsis
- The consent process for organ transplantation remains contentious, with ongoing debates on whether opt-in or opt-out systems are more effective.
- European countries are split on their approaches, with some using presumed consent and others requiring informed consent, leading to discussions on potential system shifts for better organ procurement.
- The balance between individual autonomy and the collective good in organ donation is crucial, and clear communication with families is vital regardless of the consent system in place.
