From the article:
Almost 40,000 people added their names to the opt-out register for organ donation in the first 10 days following the introduction of legislation last month, which made every adult a donor unless they expressly withdraw consent.
Figures released by the Health Service Executive (HSE) suggest that people are opting out of the scheme at a rate of almost 155 every hour since the law came into force on June 17th.
THE HUMAN TISSUE ACT 2024 WAS AIMED AT INCREASING ORGAN DONATION RATES BY PRESUMING THAT ALL ADULTS LIVING IN IRELAND FOR AT LEAST A YEAR CONSENT TO DONATING THEIR ORGANS UNLESS THEY HAVE FORMALLY REGISTERED AN OBJECTION.
New figures show that 38,687 people opted out by registering online or contacting the HSE by phone between June 17th and 12pm on June 27th.
A spokeswoman for the HSE noted that those who add their names to the register can change their mind and opt back in at any time.
“A new law around organ donation has introduced a soft ‘opt-out’ organ donation system, which means that you agree to be an organ donor when you die, unless you opt out,” she explained.
“IF YOU DIE AND ARE ELIGIBLE TO DONATE YOUR ORGANS, YOUR NEXT OF KIN ARE ALWAYS CONSULTED BEFORE ANY ACTION IS TAKEN AND, IF THEY DO NOT GIVE CONSENT, THEN THE DONATION DOES NOT PROCEED.”
“If you do not want to donate your organs, you can opt out by adding your name to the opt-out register,” added the spokeswoman.
The new legislation also made changes to living organ donations, including “non-directed altruistic donation” – which involves individuals donating to someone they don’t know.
Organs covered by the new opt-out system include the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, and kidneys. Consent is still required from family members for other bodily organs, tissues or cells.
The scheme excludes people under the age of 18, as well as those who have not been resident in Ireland for at least a year, and those who may not have had the mental capacity to make an opt-out decision prior to death.
40000 that shouldn’t receive an organ if needed in the future
As perhaps you’d expect,. for example the nutters, zealots, conspiracy theorists would be quick to opt out. Hopefully we get more data in say January to see if it’s down to a trickle or not.
If they want to opt out, then by all means do so, that’s the way the system is designed, it was never mandatory. Personally, when I kick the can, take whatever spare parts are of any use to ya, I won’t need them anymore, but I understand many don’t feel the same. It will still result in a far greater number of organ donations than under the old opt in system
Can you opt out of certain organs or is it all or nothing?
We were all opt out before the new legislation so I think we should wait a while before passing judgement. The opt outs will be in immediately so the figures are likely to be high at the moment.
You can play 5 a side with my organs when I pass for all I care. I’m gone and don’t need them anymore. The foks objecting should be prohibited from benefitting from decent people’s organ donations. Only fair sure.
Selfish fucks
thats as intended no?
Anyone optimg out should not be allowed to ever get an organ transplant.. if they don’t want to save someone’s life when they’re dead then no one should be able to save their life
40k out of our whole population is not a lot. The headlines (170 per hour) is pointless sensationalism.
on a slight tangent,
Only 3% of the eligible Irish population give blood, providing blood for a population of over 4 million
If your not willing to give you should not receive then either !
I’m 27 and waiting on a kidney transplant over 3 years now. I do dialysis 3 times a week. Even with the people gone hopefully the ones who remain are enough to make a difference to the wait times. Happy the government pushed this through. Just hope they’ve the facilities to make use of those organs as they come.
Do you need to do anything to opt in?
The only thing I’d like to see edited with this is, if I died and my partner was waiting on an organ transplant that I suffice for then they should be given first refusal. Grim as it is, charity begins at home.
I believe there is a system in japan where by you are perfectly fine to opt out of the donation, you are not opting out of the system just placing yourself at the bottom if you ever require the use of the system. Seems fair.
It’s their business ig. I’ve been carrying an organ donor card for years and don’t really care where my organs go once I’m dead. My NOK also has known this is my will since I was 18.
quid pro quo then, if they need a transplant some day they can go fuck themselves. If any part of me can help another person after I’ve passed, then rip me to bits and use what you can. I won’t need it anymore.
They should be put at the bottom of the list should they ever need to receive organ donation.
I assume that’s many more than opted in every hour before hand?
People just don’t understand the circumstances in which you need to die to be eligible to donate. If they did and understood the likelihood they’d probably stay in.
*When can organ donation happen?
Not many people die in a way that makes it possible to donate their organs. There are medical criteria and other conditions that must be met. For example, your death must take place in a hospital for a safe transplantation to go ahead. Your body will be maintained on a life support machine (ventilator). Your organs can be donated after:
Brain stem death or
Cardiac death*

Just in case anyone is on the fence…
In Japan if you opt out of being a organ doner you go to the bottom of the waiting list if you ever need one yourself….seems fair to me

Would be nice if you could opt out of certain organs. Weird, I know, but I wouldn’t want my eyes taken. Everything else would be fine donating.
It’s all made ridiculous when your family can refuse to donate your organs regardless of how vocal you gave been about wanting to be a donor. I know grief is complex, but over riding someone’s last wish to help others is horrendous. I am very biased because I am on the transplant list.
I once heard a compelling argument for why opting out of organ donation could actually benefit humanity in the long run.
Imagine a scenario where over 99% of the population hasn’t agreed to organ donation. What would happen then? As a society, and particularly within the scientific community, we’d be forced to rapidly advance the creation of artificial organs.
Consider the advantages: there would be no waiting lists for compatible organs, as science could develop and readily have various types of artificial organs available when needed. Instead of prioritizing research and development to make artificial organs widely accessible, our current system relies on harvesting organs from (often previously) young, healthy individuals to save others. From this perspective, one could understand the seemingly “selfish” decision to opt out of organ donation.
Selfish twats
Can I ask anyone who has or would opt out, why? genuinely curious. Not a loaded question or trying to bait anyone into a row.
Like my way of looking at it is if I’m dead, and any of my organs are of use, have at em.
It’s a nonsense article, 40k divided by hours. 40k amongst the entire adult population is approximately 1%. My comment isn’t intended to upset anyone on a list but in the grand scheme this article is pure drama.
