Support for Organ Donation

The Evening Times Campaign aims to persuade the Scottish Government to change the current system of organ donation to an opt out system.
 
This would result in  everyone being a donor but it would still be possible to opt out of the register.
 
Evidence suggests that about 90% of people are likely to support organ donation. However, there are only 30% on the register.
 
Momentum is gathering in support of change in the law. Opt out is backed by the British Medical Association, British Heart Foundation and Kidney Research UK.
