The minister of health proposed a law that automatically registers every adult citizen as an organ donor. You will still have the option to deregister.
Etisk Råd recommends that people in Denmark should decide by themselves if they want to be organ donors.
In 2022, 84 people donated organs after their death. 338 patients received an organ transplant (from Denmark and abroad). 460 patients are still waiting. 21 have already died waiting.
The same model exists already in France, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Hungary, Greece and the list goes on.
27% of the people in Denmark are registered as organ donors.
