Petition Remove families right to veto organ donation when the deceased is an organ donor

Since 2010, 547 families have blocked their recently deceased relatives organs being given to those who desperately need them, even though their relative was on the organ donor register.

Please change the law so relatives can not block organ donations from those on the organ donor register.
