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?
