Summary:

This news programme is about donating donors. In Britain organ donation has always depended on card carring volunteers. But in 2015 every adult living in Wales could become a potentiol donor, unless they actively chose to act out. It's a change that will help many people living in the UK, struggling with organs who does not work anymore. Right now people are waiting for donors not knowing if and when they will be helped. There are moreover 10.000 people across the UK waiting for a donor and hoping for a better life. The fact that it is on television is very important, because more people start to realize what they can do for their population.

Opinion:

I think it is very important that this topic in on the news, because in this way people in the United Kingdom see what they can do for their own society. The new program that starts in 2015 seems perfect to me. People are donating for sure, unless they indicate to not want it. In this way many lives could be spared. I love the idea and I think many more countries should do the same. I imagine myself having problems with organs and not knowing when you will be better, and even think of not knowing if you are going to be helped seems terrible to me. Everyone should donate if they are able to.
