Whilst I support human organ transplant in priciple I wish to register my opposition to the draft bill of the Welsh Government on deemed consent in the removal of organs without the explicit consent of the "donor" and ask you to consider the following points.

 

1. Deemed consent is no consent at all and has major implications on other legislation.

2. It ignores the essence of donation which is that of a free gift to say nothing of "ownership" and "autonomy" of the human body, even in death.

3.We are not the property of any Government.

4. Organ donation should be a free gift and not a legal obligation.

5 In the extreme one could be put on the Liverpool Care Pathway, killed and then butchered for one's body parts so very similar to an abattoir without one's consent. In other words treating human beings like animals. How very National Socialist.

 

Sincerely,

Geoffrey Robinson,

Newport
