Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mark Tami (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 February 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill.

I have spoken briefly about my own experience with my son, who was able to get a stem cell donor. We were in hospital for quite some time, and I saw many parents who did not find a donor. That was very difficult, and, to be frank, I felt a degree of guilt because we were fortunate and I knew that I was looking at someone whose child was going to die. That is a heartbreaking situation, and we need to do whatever we can to ensure that more people get on to the register and donate organs.
