That time of year when we flock online, a Pavlovian response to slick advertising. We search shopping malls and stalk special one-day-only sale racks, spending hours seeking the perfect gift. But what if we didn\u2019t have to search? What if we already carried the perfect gift within us?<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text\">Less than one-quarter of Canadians have registered to donate organs, but 90 per cent of Canadians say they support organ donation. Presumed consent is a potential solution to increase donors, meaning that people need to opt out if they don\u2019t want their organs donated. Nova Scotia has already passed this legislation, to take effect in 2020. Alberta, Quebec and Prince Edward Island seem poised to follow suit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"j-f-wrap\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"u-wrapper pb-feature pb-layout-item pb-f-commercial-dfp-ads\">\n<div class=\"\">The decision to donate is complicated, but all I can think about are the eight people whose lives I might save.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/opinion\/article-skip-the-mall-this-christmas-your-organ-donation-consent-is-the-best\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the entire article, originally published as an op-Ed in the Globe and Mail (December 23, 2019)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mmlynchwriter.com\/index.php\/blog\/\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Back to Complete List of Blog Posts:<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":461,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[10,5,23,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-publication","category-school","category-survivor","category-writer"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MM Lynch Writer &#8211;
