KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Organ Donation
Organ donation refers to the legal system governing the donation of organs and tissue after death for transplantation purposes.
In England, the Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Act 2019 introduced a system under which adults are presumed to consent to donation unless they opt out or fall within excluded categories.
This reform is commonly known as Max and Keira’s Law.
Similar deemed consent systems have also been introduced in Wales and Scotland.
The legislation aims to increase the availability of organs for transplantation while preserving individual choice and protections
