description The basic definition of deemed consent is that all competent members of a jurisdiction are assumed to have given their consent for deceased organ donation unless they have explicitly registered otherwise. Canada joined this international debate on Jan 18, 2021, when Nova Scotia implemented North America's first deemed consent model. Policy-makers across Canada are now asking if they should pursue similar policies, but lessons learned from experts around the world suggest that consent models should be changed only with clear objectives in mind and within a transparent system that has other foundational elements already in place. Here, Weiss and Dirk discuss what is known globally about the impact of deemed consent models, what other jurisdictions have learned about implementation and how the policy should be evaluated in Nova Scotia.
