Change UK Legislation to Allow Organ Donation From Babies Under 2 Months
It has been brought to my attention by the family of Ryan Brookhouse that there is a legislation that prevents babies who are under 2 months old from having their organs donated.
Signing this petition you will be supporting the UK to come in line with the rest of the EU, America and Australia on organ donation rules.
Many babies who die under the age of 2 months could be organ doners and save many young babies lives.
I wish the Government to change existing legislation so that the organs of babies under 2 months old can be donated as many are going to waste and lives like Ryan's could be made better and saved.
Please see Ryan's facebook update page:
