INTERPELLATION:
AFFIRMATIVE – NECESSITY
1. DO YOU AGREE THAT THE PRESERVATION
OF HUMAN RIGHTS IS OF PARAMOUNT
IMPORTANCE?
2. DO YOU AGREE THERE IS A DISPARITY IN
THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN ORGAN
DONATION?
3. SO YOU AGREE THAT THE STATUS QUO IS
NOT EFFECTIVE IN ADDRESSING THE
PROBLEM OF THE DISPARITY IN ORGAN
SUPPLY?
NO? BUT YOU SAID EARLIER THAT THERE
IS A PRESENT DISPARITY IN SUPPLY AND
DEMAND. IS IT NOT A PROBLEM IN THE
STATUS QUO?
IN ESSENCE YOU ARE AGREEING WITH
ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE
STATUS QUO, HENCE THE NEED TO
CHANGE THE SAME. THANK YOU.
1. DO YOU AGREE THAT WE HAVE A MORAL
OBLIGATION TO SAVE THE LIVES OF
OTHERS?
NO? SO YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT WE
SHOULD JUST LEAVE ONE MAN TO DIE?
LET ME REPEAT MY QUESTION….
2. DO YOU AGREE THAT THE GOVERNMENT
IS STRUCTURED TO PRESERVE HUMAN
LIVES?
NEGATIVE NON-NECESSITY
1. ARE YOU AWARE OF THE CASE OF SPAIN?
WELL, LET ME ENLIGHTEN YOU COUNSEL.
SPAIN IS ONE OF THE MOST CELBRATED
OPT-OUT MODEL DUE TO THE
SIGNIFICANT RISE IN ITS ORGAN
DONATION.
2. SO YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW THAT
THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN ORGAN
DONATION IN SPAIN?
3. PRESUMABLY BECAUSE OF THE OPT OUT
SYSTEM, CORRECT?
4. BUT DID YOU ALSO KNOW THAT THE OPT
OUT SYSTEM WAS ADOPTED IN SPAIN IN
1979 AND FOR A SPAN OF 10 LONG
YEARS, THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT
CHANGE IN THE NUMBER OF ORGAN
DONAITON?
5. AND DID YOU ALSO KNOW THAT SPAIN
ITSELF DO NOT ATTRIBUTE THE RISE OF
ORGAN DONATION ON ITS OPT OUT
MODEL BUT TO ITS “SPANISH MODEL”?
6. SO BASICALLY, THE VERY CELEBRATED
MODEL OF OPT OUT SYSTEM DOES NOT
REALLY SHOW THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THE OPT OUT SYSTEM. THANK YOU
1. ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY DOH
INFORMATION CAMPAIGN RELATING TO
ORGAN DONATION?
2. ARE YOU AWARE THAT Section 14 OF THE
PROPOSED SENATE BILL provides for
EDUCATION AND INFORMATION
CAMPAIGN ON ORGAN DONATION
undertaking public education information
campaign program on organ donation
and transplantation.
 NO? SO YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT 3. SO YOU BELIEVE THAT INFORMATION
GOVERNMENTS ARE BUTCHERS OF THEIR DISSEMINATION AND PUBLIC EDUCAITON
CITIZENS? LET ME REPEAT MY IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF
QUESTION…. INCREASING organ donation?

3. DO YOU AGREE THAT THE GOVERNMENT,

IN PROPOSING THE OPT OUT SYSTEM
ONLY SEEKS TO SAVE HUMAN LIVES?

1. IN THE CASE OF SPAIN, YOU MENTIONED THAT

THE OPT OUT SYSTEM IS NOT ATTRIBUTED TO
THE SUCCESS IN ITS ORGAN DONATION RATE,
CORRECT?

4. BUT SPAIN CHANGED ITS SYSTEM FROM

OPT-IN TO OPT OUT MODEL, CORRECT?

5. BUT DESPITE OF YOUR SUPPOSED

INEFFECTIVITY OF THE OPT-OUT MODEL,
SPAIN DID NOT GO BACK TO ITS
ORIGINAL OPT-IN MODEL, CORRECT?

6. SPAIN RETAINED ITS OPT OUT SYSTEM

AND INTENSIFIED ITS INFORMATION
SYSTEM, CORRECT?

7. SO THE OPT OUT SYSTEM, ALTHOUGH

NOT THE ONLY MEASURE, BUT IS ONE OF
MEASURES PRACTICED BY SPAIN,
CORRECT?

8. THEREFORE, THE OPT OUT MODEL IS

STILL ONE OF THE MEASURES
ATTRIBUTING TO THE SUCCESS OF
ORGAN DONATION IN SPAIN. THANK YOU
