Who has the Last Word on Body Donation?
A Queensland resident who wishes to donate their body for therapeutic (transplant to the body of a living person) or medical/scientific purposes may do everything right in expressing these wishes before their death. They could:
register themselves as an Organ Donor on the National Register,
make a direction in their Will to donate their body tissue, and
make a Statutory Declaration the day before they die stating that they want to donate their body tissue.
They could take all these measures, and yet the decision may still be at the whim of someone else!
