Rejected petition Make uk organ donation a opt out system as Wales just did.

My Daughter was born with a rare liver disease, by 6 months of age she was priorty listed for a liver transplant after 8 weeks she didn't get the "call" shes a common blood group O which is in High demand. If this opt out system was in place it could save so many more lives which is vital.

More details

Tiffany was lucky her cousin was a living donor for her however many children just like my daughter die every year waiting for organs, if you'd willingly take a organ to save your own or a family members life then surely you'd be happy to donate... some people forget to sign up and more importantly forget or find it hard discussing this difficult issue... then your family can say no even though you have signed up to donate.. One person can save 9 lives that's 9 family's getting a 2nd chance
