Dear Madam/Sir

Although I live in England, I wish (if I may) to record my opposition to these proposals as they stand.

They raise serious ethical problems since presumed consent is often taken to equal no consent.  Organ donation should, in fact, be treated as a voluntary gift characterised by free will - not an obligation.  Evidence from other countries suggest that readily available abuses of such a system lead to considerable misuse.

This certainly goes against my Christian beliefs.

Yours faithfully

Mr Peter Dutton
