Change the law so that you are automatically enrolled as an organ donor at 16.
We continue to hear about family, friends, or work colleagues who are spending years on the organ donor waiting list and sadly a lot of them never receive what they need as you currently have to OPT IN to be a donor.
Change the Law so that everyone becomes a donor at 16 years old.
You will have the option to opt out but you have to request it.
We should also give priority to donors and children when it comes to receiving organs.
If you opt out of giving, you should also automatically opt out of receiving.
Lets stop the suffering and give the people who need these organs the chance to live.
Thank you for your support.
