Adults. You are now organ donors. Congrats! What! You didn't volunteer?

As of today, the law has changed. All adults are now by default organ donors. If, for whatever reason, you want/need to opt out, you need to do something about it.

Mate, nothing is really ours. The State taxes us for working, it taxes our employer for employing us, it taxes our savings if there are any left after all forms of taxation. We are allowed to live under a roof for as long as we pay the tax, after being taxed for acquiring one. Fail to pay the tax and the house is sold, we go down for a while. We're taxed for buying a car, for insuring it, for running it, fail to pay the tax and it's confiscated and crushed. Nothing is really ours and this is probably the final frontier, we don't own our organs anymore. They now belong to the State too, by default.

I would like my organs to be donated so as to imbed little pieces of my soul into worthy hosts, of whom I will then possess and operate from beyond the grave like fleshy marionettes.

Okay I'm not going to go into all of that but lets say your right. Even if that's true think about all the parents who's children need transplants to survive and these vital organ donations could save their life! Even if the 'people who run the world' have no interest in saving lives I'm sure the parents/ those in need do!
I agree with this but not the quiet introduction. It should have been publicised. Death is sadly a feature of the daily Covid 19 briefing where it could have been mentioned.

They started talking about it at least over a year ago.
Waiting to see if the TSR responses are as tragic as the ones I saw in the Daily Mail comments section about this lol.
If this upsets you, just opt out. The form takes all of 2 minutes to fill in.
I’d you don’t wish to be in, you can opt out. At the end of the day it doesn’t bother me, I’ll be dead I’m sure as hell not gonna be using them.
