Laws governing organ donation and tissue retention are to be overhauled, possibly allowing more transplants.
Under the Human Tissue Act, people will have a legal right for their wishes to be followed, meaning doctors could over-rule relatives' objections.

I think this is a good idea, it means that if you are an organ donor you know your wishes will be carried out. I am sure that grieving relatives that object to their loved ones organs being used for transplant only do so because they have just lost someone close to them and dont want to think about parts of their body being removed, but Dr's will now be able to still harvest the organs for transplant.
