Should you have to opt-out of donating your organs?

The British Medical Association believes that moving to an opt-out donation system - where people who die without expressing whether or not they wish to donate their organs will be presumed to be willing to donate - would increase donation rates and save lives. The system has been in place in Wales since December 2015 and now the BMA says it's time the rest of the UK followed the Welsh model. Dr Mark Porter finds out more about the opt-out system, first hearing from Ali Reynolds whose son Lee was just 21 when he was killed in a head-on car crash.
