According to Agence France Presse reported on May 15, Switzerland will vote on a motion today. If it is passed, it will make Switzerland have more organs for transplantation: unless I clearly object, everyone will become a potential organ donor after death The report said that in order to reduce the waiting in line for organ transplantation, the Swiss government and parliament hope to change the law to the "presumed consent" model adopted by many other European countries.
This will be significantly different from the current system. At present, it is possible to remove organs for transplantation only with the consent of the deceased.
It is reported that although the survey shows that about 80% of Swiss people support organ donation, the wishes of the dead are often unknown. In this case, the decision is made by relatives, and most of them choose to refuse to donate organs.
Switzerland has a population of about 8.6 million. By the end of 2021, there were more than 1400 patients waiting for organ transplantation in China.
According to the report, 166 dead people in Switzerland donated organs last year, and a total of 484 organs were donated by the transplanted dead. However, according to the Swiss organ donation and transplantation foundation, 72 people died in Switzerland in 2021 while waiting for organ transplantation.
