Although some groups and individuals have raised concerns, no one came forward to challenge the bill at committee.In an interview Monday, Cara Zwibel of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association said she read the bill and still wonders how it would work in practice.
But Dr. Stephen Beed, medical director of the province’s Legacy of Life and critical care organ donation program, says the regulations will take into consideration people’s rights over their own bodies, as well as respect for religious and cultural concerns. Families will continue to be consulted about their loved ones’ wishes regarding organ or tissue donation under the legislation. As well, those under 19 and people without decision-making capacity would be exempt, and would only be considered as donors if a parent, guardian or alternate decision-maker opts them in.

Never going to stand up in Supreme Court. The assumption that the state owns my body after I die, because I didn’t fill out the right paperwork is absurd. If N.S. is so keen on it, why don’t people agree? Even when asked? What’s next, automatic assumption of my wallet as well?
They snapped
Now THIS seems like good news. Opt in policies aren't as effective as they should be. As long as there's an opt out plan, I'm all for this.
Simple. Brilliant. Should be this way everywhere.
DANGEROUS
No way I want nothing, I give nothing. My body is the only thing that is mine. Lets keep it that way.
As it should be across Canada.

Nova Scotia set to be first in North America with presumed consent for organ donationsUnder the Human Organ and Tissue Donation Act, all people in Nova Scotia would be considered potential organ donors unless they opt out About time. This should be national. You can't expect free healthcare and allow the costs of waiting for organ donations when thousands of organs are destroyed needlessly. I wouldn't allow anyone to opt out unless they opt out of the provincial healthcare system
