Everyone should be seen as a potential organ donor on their death unless they expressly request not to be, England's chief medical officer says.

Sir Liam Donaldson wants a system of "presumed consent" to be introduced in England to tackle organ shortages. His Scottish counterpart rejected the move.

I think I'd go along with it. I wonder if there's an age limit?
