Lesley Clarke reflects on her late partner, Richard Still, who had strong feelings about organ donation. His wishes and discussions prior to his passing made her decision to donate easier. After his death, she received a letter from a recipient, which highlighted the profound impact of his donated cornea, reinforcing the importance of communication about organ donation within families.
The NHS is urging families to discuss organ donation preferences due to the rising number of families refusing requests amidst a waiting list crisis. With many people unaware of their loved ones' wishes, this lack of clarity contributes to lower consent rates, showcasing the importance of proactive conversation.
