Human Tissue (Organ Donation) Amendment Bill

This bill amends the Human Tissue Act 1964 to establish a register on which people can register their legally-binding wish to be an organ donor or state their objection to being an organ donor; provide for public information campaigns encouraging registration as a donor; provide a means of transferring existing donor information on the LTSA database to the register; and provide a mechanism for specifying organs for donation, or the use to which organs may be put, and provide that the wishes of those on the register cannot be over-ridden.
