It’s policy…Stupid!!!
An interesting article from a blogger i found while Tag Surfing

When India became independent, we copied our policies and regulations mostly from Britain. Britain has this thing called “Opt In” policy, where if you wish to donate your organs, you need to sign papers saying you wish to do so.
While just a few hundred Kilometers away from Britain, there is Spain. Spain has what they called “Opt out” policy. So by default you are considered organ donor and your organs are harvested at your death. But if you do not want to donate organs, you have to sign papers saying that explicitly.
Result? Spain has a lot higher rate of organ donation.

Nice find – the policies also captured a perfect preserve of the pre-independance bureaucracy
