MLCs this week welcome proposed law changes to create an ’opt-out’ system for organ donation.
The Human Transplant and Organ Donation Bill was given unanimous backing at the first-reading stage in Legislative Council on Tuesday.
Kate Lord-Brennan said the Bill, which has already been approved by the House of Keys, was the result of the work of Garff MHK Martyn Perkins and the ’tireless and dedicated’ work of Organ Donation Isle of Man, particularly Diane Taylor.
The MLC said she attended a service organised by Organ Donation IoM, held in St George’s Church to pay tribute to and remember donors and their families.
