Regarding organ donation, officials are recommending Scotland to consider opt-out. But, on the other side, they are suggesting that the country first watch the experience of the new opt-out system for organ donation in Wales and then make any decision.

According to the report coming from the Scottish Transplant Group, Scotland ministers must evaluate the working of the system in Wales before they make any decision regarding adopting of the same approach.

The Scottish Transplant Group said that opt-out system is a new approach of the countries to increase the number of donors and help making the transplant operations easier one. But they have advised the ministers to first thoroughly evaluate the experience of putting up the system in Wales and then make any final decisions.

Last week, proposals were heard from the Welsh assembly members who all showed their favor to alter the law which automatically presumes the people to have consented for their organ donation unless they personally opt-out from the approach.

The British Medical Association backs the presumed consent. It has advised Scotland to take its decision immediately on the issue and not to wait to see the results of same in other countries like Wales who have already started with the approach.
