To get more organ donations in Germany, has expressed the Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn for a double contradiction solution. In this case, each would be automatically considered an organ donor unless he self-contradicts in advance. Also, the members could opt-out. “The only way the body can be a donation to the normal case,” said the CDU politician of the “image”.
So far, withdrawals are only possible, if someone agrees to this expressly, such as in an organ donor card. A new regulation is an intrusion of the state into the freedom of the Individual, said Spahn.
