Abstract/Summary
Organ transplantation has saved countless lives, however more people could have been saved had only there been enough organs available for transplant. The lack of supply or organs available for transplant led to the creation of procurement systems replacing the system based on altruism. One of which is the system of presumed consent. Although the system has proven to increase the supply of organs available for donation it is continuously met with opposition. Various studies claim that the system of presumed consent violates the rights to liberty, privacy and family autonomy and property rights, this research shall prove otherwise.
