All UK residents to be placed on the Organ Donor Register.
My name is Natalie Kerr, I am 34 years old and four years ago I was fortunate enough to receive a double lung transplant which saved my life from a rare lung disease. Currently three people a day die waiting for an organ transplant in the UK due to a shortage of donors! I propose we change the law.
There are currently around 10,000 people in the UK in need of an organ transplant and there simply aren't enough organs available. Could you imagine if this happened to one of your loved ones like it did to me, fortunately I was lucky and have had 4 extra amazing years with my two children, many people aren't so lucky! I propose that we change the law to automatically place all UK residents on the organ donor register with a CHOICE to opt out. I strongly believe that this will save many lives!
