Bavaria warns new law for organ donation
Bavaria’s Minister of Health Judith Gerlach has the members of the new in the face of falling organ donation numbers Bundestag Requested to quickly resume the initiatives to introduce an objection solution. « The Bundestag should take up the already elaborated bill to introduce the resolution as soon as possible, » said the CSU politician. Gerlach warned that the number of postmortal organ donors had decreased even further compared to 2023 from 965 to 953 to 953 to 953.
Gerlach calls for contradiction with organ donation as a normal case
« The contradiction solution offers the chance that more people will get a life -saving donor organ, because organ donation would then be the normal case, » emphasized the minister. Both the Federal Council and a cross -parliamentary group of parliamentary members had brought in corresponding draft laws last year, but which, however, no longer came to vote due to the premature dissolution of the parliament.
Bavaria: 1100 people on waiting list, but only 38 organ donors since the beginning of the year
Gerlach emphasized that with the resolution of the objection, the individual’s right to self -determination was just as guaranteed as in the previous law, which presupposes active consent to organ donation during lifetime or if the relatives cannot be determined. « Everyone and everyone would be organ donor if the legal requirements were met, » said the CSU minister. « The contradiction solution also enables everyone to decide independently about their position, » she emphasized.
« In Bavaria alone, more than 1100 people are currently waiting for a donor organ, » said Gerlach. In the first three months there were 38 organ donors in the Free State.
