Consider Non Family Members As Live Organ Donors

Consider Non Family Members As Live Organ Donors

The Issue

My 3yr old daughter has a rare type of liver disease that requires a liver transplant. Shes been on the transplant list for 9 weeks and has a long wait as her blood type is so popular.

Kings College Hospital in London only use family members for consideration as Live Organ Donors.

I would like to make it so that non family members should be considered for live organ donation too as the wait for a life saving organ is quite a long one. 

So many people have called the live donor co ordinator to offer to be living donors for my daughter and have all been turned down. 

Lets get this petition signed and shared so children/Adults that need a transplant of any kind can have donors that dont necessarily need to be a living relation.
