Rejected petition Change the law so that you have to opt out of organ donation rather than opt in.

There are over 4000 people in the UK currently waiting for organs that need transplants. So by changing the laws, more organs will be readily available to those who need them.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

From Spring 2020, England will adopt an "opt-out" organ donation system, so we're not sure what further action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
