Rejected petition Introduce "presumed consent" for organ donation in England

We petition the Government to follow the Welsh Government in introducing presumed consent for organ donation in England.
In Wales, this has already saved or transformed many lives since its introduction and the same could happen in England too, if a similar law is passed.
