Make organ donation consent made prior to someone’s death binding

Summary

We call on the Government to legislate so that a person’s registered decision to donate is legally binding and cannot be overridden by family members after the person’s death. Under the current system, families are still consulted and can effectively prevent donation, even when a person has clearly stated their wishes. We think this undermines personal autonomy and can result in fewer lifesaving transplants.
