Change donor law
The NHS is organised in such a way that people will only be considered as possible donors if they happen to die in Hospital, despite their declared wish during life to be a donor after their death.
All organs should be made available,not just those from those who die in hospital.
Every day In the UK, it is normal for 1,500 people to die, 400 of those are known to have signed up to the Organ Donor Register. Because each person has two kidneys, that is 800 potential life saving kidneys available every day, yet only 7 operations are carried out. If the NHS could manage 7 more operations a day then the waiting list could be eliminated within three years, but it does not happen and patients continue to languish on Dialysis, or die.
