Organ Donation Presumed Consent Report

Toronto, ON - Two-thirds (66%) believe organ donation in Ontario should be an `opt-in' system in which one actively chooses to give consent to donate. The remaining third (34%) feel that organ donation should be governed by `presumed consent' in which one must actively `opt-out' by recording their decision to not donate organs and/or tissue after death.

This study was conducted online with a representative sample of n=1,003 Ontario residents age 18 or older. The survey was conducted through Ipsos' online omnibus. Quotas and weighting were used to ensure the sample was representative of the surveyed population by age, gender and region accordingly to the latest Census figures. The accuracy of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval, a measure similar to a margin of error. The overall sample for this is considered accurate to within +/- 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what the results would have been had all Ontario residents 18 and older been polled. The survey was conducted between Tuesday October 27th and Thursday October 29th, 2015.
