Organ donation and ethnic minority

Watching the news they were highlighting the shortage of organ donation amongst ethnic minorities and the fact that only about 4% donate organs. Obviously many more ethnic minorities need organs than those people donating them.

What are your opinions on this?

Are there reasons why statistics are so low such as religion...culture etc.

What are your views on organ donation overall?

Recently there's an implemented law in my country about this that says unless person specifically signed that they don't want to be donors they will be considered as donors in case of death. Ofc huge numbers of people are against it.
Honestly I don't get how someone can be against it. If you're dead and you get one last chance to help someone else live why on Earth would you be against it? It's not like you're going to bring it all with you somewhere or like you'll miss it...but you will save someone's life with it! How can it not be worth it?!

I agree. They must use what they can the rest of me can be donated to science. What's left after that can be burned. One thing I am making very clear in my wishes is to not be buried.

In the report on tv it sounded like the family get the last say of organ donation. I assume this is only if you have not made you wishes clear to donate to begin with.

So do you think family members emotions can also get in the way of making this decision. I would think after a death, family members might say no purely due to the emotional loss of that person and to then be asked about it during this time my sway the decision as well leading to a no.

UK police state using a two pronged approach in informing the public that they'll be nationalizing (Corbyn approved) their organs from now on:

1.) TV announcements that minorities aren't donating enough organs. Maybe government can really drive the message home by using ad trucks like those that were once calling for migrants to go home.

Few months down the road

2.) TV announcements of mandatory post mortem donations.

Extra doctors are employed for faster procedure (using the controversial"get 'em while they're fresh" recruiting campaign) causing an uptick in the nation's gdp.

Boris Johnson is overheard that "death is a better business partner than the EU."

Misused?

Do you mean not appreciated?

Like an alcoholic who gets a new liver and then goes onto drink again type of mis use?
