** Debating Matters UK: Organ Donors & Presumed Consent
School students participating in the Debating Matters East Regional finals in Cambridge take up the issues surrounding what’s known as ‘presumed consent’ for organ donation. Feisty 16 year-old debaters consider whether the idea can be justified if it saves lives or whether this would let the government off the hook for failing to campaign effectively for organ donors in the face of shortages. WORLDbytes volunteers filmed and edited this vital debate and checked out public opinion on the streets of East London.
