Recently Iceland passed a law, that goes into effect as of this year, that makes every adult over 18 to become an organ donor by default with ability to opt out. Nevertheless, the Icelanders will still have the final say on what happens to their bodies after death. It is still illegal for the governments to remove organs from the body of a deceased person if “they have expressed their opposition to such or if doing so may be deemed for any other reason to be contrary to their will.” The law, first introduced in 2012, allows family members to opt-out on behalf of the deceased.
