From today, when a person dies, they will automatically be assumed to be an organ donor unless they have indicated an objection during their lifetime.

It is hoped that this new opt-out system will reduce waiting lists and encourage more people to become organ donors.

Our reporter, Josh Crosbie has been hearing from donor families and recipients about the changes.
