SUMMARY:An Opt-Out Organ Donor Register - What is it and should Northern Ireland have one?
DESCRIPTION:Now that an opt-out approach to organ donation has been adopted in Wales\, this means that\, following their death\, those who live in Wales are presumed to be willing to donate their organs to others. Those who are not willing to donate must register their objection. In surveys a high percentage of the population says that they are willing to donate but far fewer actually register their consent. The hope is that this will increase the number of organs available for transplant and\, therefore\, the number of lives saved. \nThis event will consist of a panel discussion of the opt-out approach and include a talk entitled ‘Wales: Opting In To Opt Out?’ by Dr Chris Hingston\, the Clinical Lead for Organ Donation in South Wales\, followed by short responses from a number of speakers. \nThe participatory discussion will focus on whether Northern Ireland should follow the lead of Wales and move to an opt-out system of organ donor registration. \nThis event is organised by the Northern Ireland Ethics Forum in association with QPol\, as part of Imagine: Festival of Ideas and Politics 2016. \nTo book your place\, click here.
