Organ donation Reform: an alternative design relies on voluntary

A group member of the German Bundestag has developed its own proposal for a Reform of the organ donation act. More information and regular Demands for a better donor.

If, in Germany, a brain-dead patient, one or more organs are removed, must have to be true in his lifetime, clearly. Do but still far too few people, while almost 10 ill wait 000 Hard on a life-saving heart, lung or liver.

A Reform is to change that. But, as always, she looks like a organ donation should remain a "conscious and voluntary decision" of Each. The firm Conviction of a cross-party group, the Green party Chairman, Anna Lena Baerbock.

she wants the citizens to be regularly and legally binding asked whether they are willing to donate organs. "All the people in our country always get a Personal. Then it should be mandatory queried: would you like to be an organ donor or not," Baerbock.

Green party leader Anna Lena Baerbock satzt on a voluntary basis.

"Clearly the basic law-"

Behind this so-called "recurring decision solution" are also members of the SPD, FDP, Union, but also the Left party leader Katja Kipping. The group relies in its core on more advice and an Online Register to be a Yes or a no to donation it as easy as possible.

Advice could interview, therefore, the house doctors to their patients every two years, so Baerbock in a newspaper. She is convinced With their bill, people who wanted to donate an Organ will be made, the decision easy.

A contradiction solution, as the group of the CDU Minister of health, Spahn recently presented, rejects Baerbock: "Our proposal is clearly the basic law-because the contradiction solution is a deep intervention in the fundamental rights," she says.

Lauterbach support Spahn-draft

The Spahn-draft provides that a shall not apply to the full-year as an organ donor, as long as he speaks in the course of his life, expressly. However, if no such Declaration is present, it can be checked with the relatives.

Even the SPD-health expert Karl Lauterbach for Spahns contradiction solution. Because: in surveys, a large majority was willing to donate an Organ, but only half of them have an organ donor card.

This large gap, it is important to include: "From my firm Belief that the only way is with a statement of the solution. This is the only way," said the SPD politician.

vote

Every year around 2000 people die on the waiting list for a donor organ, so Lauterbach. Minister of health, Spahn said: There is no obligation to organ donation, but a duty to deal with it.

the parliamentary group to Baerbock want the organ donation rate in Germany improved. However, the voluntary nature needs to be preserved. By order of the state are enforced.

Kirsten Kappert Gonther, green health expert and a Doctor,, it takes trust in the transplant system: "The trust is strengthened by good education and a self-determined decision," she says.

The deputies will discuss in the coming months, across party lines, the bills. A vote, it is compulsory to enter in the coming fall, also without a group.
