Excellent news for people on organ replacement waiting lists today as the UK Chief Medical Officer calls for a change to the UK donor scheme where everyone is a donor unless they specifically opt out.
I know that not everyone agrees with this potential change and yes there are some religious groups that do not agree, but surely its better to have a surplus of organs available for transplant than a shortage.
I’ve been a Donor Card holder all of my life – well at least from 16 when I joined the Navy and can see no better way of using what ever is ‘working’ from my body when I’m gone. I can’t use it can I?
