POWERFUL CASE FOR PRESUMED CONSENT ON ORGAN DONATIONS - LAMB

9.11.07am GMT Tue 15th Jan 2008

Commenting on Gordon Brown's support for a system of 'presumed consent' for organ donation, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary Norman Lamb said: "Although this is an issue that will arouse strong reactions, the potential for saving lives through a system of presumed consent cannot be ignored.

"The experiences of other countries with such a system present a very powerful case for introducing it here.

"However, it is vital that we ensure that the ability to opt out is a genuine one. No families should be left feeling that such a step was taken against their will."
