Milestones

The system has been changed over the last few years to mean someone who does not wish to donate their organs after death has to specifically notify the NHS Organ Donation team. We wish for the system to return to the old system where you had to opt in specifically.

While we recognise organ donation saves lives, we also feel uncomfortable about the new system where you specifically have to opt out, should you not wish for your organs to be donated. We think its not known to many people that this is the case and some people who did not wish to participate, may have their organs donated after death due to this lack of knowledge. We wish for the system to be reverted to how it was and have an advertisement campaign instead to put forward the benefits of donation.
