Organ transplant donors

Hi, ladies!
It has been raining on and off, and the temperature is lower than yesterday.

From the national news/
The government and the opposition party agreed to drop age limit for organ transplant donors. They hope to abolish the current age limits on being an organ donor, but also plan to more strictly define brain death.

The current law stipulates that only those aged 15 or older can become organ donors. One plan seeks to allow organ donations from babies less than 12 months old if family members agree. Another calls for the age limit to be lowered to 12 or older, while the third bill would leave the age limit unchanged.

…It’s a controversial subject, because there seem some serious problems on international organ traffic. I am worried that Japan will become a target of that crime if the law is revised in the near future.

Well, see you tomorrow. Good bye!
