Rejected petition Compulsary organ donation for all uk residents unless they officially opt out
At present organ donors have to actively seek out information and register as a donor themselves which is keeping organ donor registration at a low which does not cover demand
Also donors wishes can be refused by the registered donors family which in turn again lowers donation figures
