    In an opt-put approach which Rippon (2012) calls an ‘aversive approach’, you would automatically be an organ donor when you are born unless you decide before death to ‘opt-out’. In Canada, we currently have an opt-in approach, which Rippon (2012) calls the ‘presumptive approach’.

You would then either have to register in a database to become a donor at some point in your life or be given the option when death is approaching (Rippon, 2012). Evidence has shown that majority of people support organ donation but many fail to register as an organ donor under the current opt-in system (Rippon, 2012).…
