Petition Change baby organ donation rules

More details

Currently babies under two months old cannot become organ donors, but the UK allows newborns' organs to be imported from Europe.

Because 0-2 month old babies are so small, they can only accept organs from baby organ donors.

Australia, the US, and other countries in Europe allow donation at this age, so young babies in the UK are dependent on organs donated from abroad.

By changing these rules, young babies in desperate need of a transplant would be given the best chance of survial.
