Not at all. There is increasing pressure here for donor cards to be 
'reversed', ie. if you don't carry a 'I'm *not* a kidney donor' card 
they can get at your organs. As most transplants here are carried out 
by the NHS, and the waiting lists for transplants cause regular bad 
publicity for the government, they are keen to stop organs going to 
'waste'.

This is a country where the selling of jam at village fete's has just 
become a criminal act, so *anything* is possible.
