Organ donation with WAG is another ...

... dogs dinner.


The basic proposal ......
Opt-out systems are characterised as hard or soft:
  1. ... in a hard opt-out system the removal and use of organs and tissues is permissible unless the deceased objected during his or her lifetime;
  2. ... in a soft opt-out system the removal and use of organs and tissues is also permissible unless the deceased objected during his or her lifetime, but after death relatives are involved in the decision making process around donation.
The Welsh Government is proposing a soft opt-out system for Wales.
So at a stroke this parody of administration will take away my wishes Post-mortem.


What price democracy, what price moral autonomy, what next from our second division politicians at Cardiff Bay.

At a stroke they have lost this organ donor.

At BBC Wales there has been a general debate, it seems opposition to this proposed legislation is shared with many others, the debate has stopped, but the sentiments remain as a record.

  1. It could also uphold the wishes of people who don't want to donate. In the current system even if you object your family can still donate your organs. For the first time with opt out you can register an objection.
