Organ Donors and War Veterans:
A Comparison
​Both organ donors and war veterans share key qualities:
​Selfless Sacrifice:
Both groups make a decision to put the well-being and life of others before their own or their own comfort.
A soldier risks their life for national security;
, and a deceased donor or their family consents to a final, vital act of giving.

​Saving Lives:
A veteran's service often involves protecting lives and freedoms.
An organ donor literally gives the gift of life to multiple people, allowing them to live longer and have healthier lives.

​Profound Impact:

The actions of both veterans and donors have an immediate, deep, and lasting impact on the recipients, their families, and the community at large.

​The key difference lies in the context of the sacrifice Veterans serve in a context of conflict and defense

, while organ donors act in a context of medical necessity and altruism.

However,
perspective emphasizes the shared value of the ultimate gift they both offer
An important chance of a continued, better life for others.

Gwnaeth y weithred syml honno gan Claire arwain at achub 5 bywyd. Simon oedd un ohonynt, a gafodd aren gan Claire. Roedd Simon wedi bod yn cael trafferth gyda methiant yr arennau ers 6 blynedd, a bu ar ddialysis arennol 24 awr. Roedd y trawsblaniad aren a gafodd gan Claire wedi achub ei fywyd.

Mae Alan a Teresa wedi cwrdd â Simon, a bu’n brofiad “anhygoel”.
“Rydyn ni’n hynod falch o Claire ei bod wedi cael y weledigaeth a’r haelioni i feddwl am bobl eraill, a'i bod wedi achub cynifer o fywydau yn y pen draw.”

Cymryd 2 funud i gadarnhau eich penderfyniad ar Gofrestr Rhoddwyr Organau'r GIG yw'r peth gorau a wnewch chi heddiw.

🇬🇧 Teresa and Alan faced a difficult decision when they were asked about organ donation, following the passing of their daughter Claire in 2010. But then they discovered that she had confirmed her decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register.

Thanks to that simple act, Claire went on to save 5 lives. One of them was Simon, who received a kidney from Claire. Simon had been struggling with kidney failure for 6 years and was on 24 hour kidney dialysis. The kidney transplant he received from Claire, saved his life.

Alan and Teresa have met Simon and described it as “incredible”.

“We are incredibly proud of Claire that she had the foresight and generosity of thinking of others, and that she ended up saving so many lives.”

Taking 2 minutes to confirm your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register is the best thing you’ll do today.

Cyfraith rhoi organau yng Nghymru
English



Cydsyniad tybiedig yw’r ddeddfwriaeth yng Nghymru.

Mae hyn yn golygu, os nad ydych chi wedi cofrestru penderfyniad i roi organau a meinwe (optio i mewn neu optio allan), byddwch yn cael eich trin fel nad oes gennych chi wrthwynebiad i fod yn rhoddwr.

Cydsyniad tybiedig yng Nghymru
Ystyrir eich bod yn cytuno i fod yn rhoddwr organau pan fyddwch yn marw, os:

ydych chi dros 18 oed;
nad ydych chi wedi optio allan;
nad ydych chi mewn grŵp sydd wedi’i eithrio.
Eich penderfyniad chi yw rhoi organau. Gallwch ddewis pa organau i’w rhoi neu ddewis peidio â’u rhoi’n gyfan gwbl.

Gallwch hefyd enwebu hyd at ddau gynrychiolydd i wneud y penderfyniad ar eich rhan. Gallai’r rhain fod yn aelodau o’r teulu, yn ffrindiau neu’n bobl eraill rydych chi’n ymddiried ynddyn nhw, fel eich arweinydd ffydd.

Cyflwynwyd y ddeddfwriaeth hon ym mis Rhagfyr 2015.

Ar bwy mae’n effeithio?
Mae cydsyniad tybiedig yn berthnasol i bawb yng Nghymru, ac eithrio’r rheini sy’n rhan o’r hyn a elwir yn grwpiau wedi’u heithrio.

Dyma’r grwpiau sydd wedi’u heithrio:

Pawb dan 18 oed
Pobl heb y gallu meddyliol i ddeall y trefniadau newydd a chymryd y camau angenrheidiol
Ymwelwyr â Chymru, a’r rheini nad ydynt yn byw yma’n wirfoddol
Pobl sydd wedi byw yng Nghymru am lai na deuddeg mis cyn eu marwolaeth

Ydych chi wedi cofrestru eich penderfyniad rhoi organau?
Mae’n cymryd dwy funud i gofrestru eich penderfyniad ar-lein.

Gweld y dewisiadau y gallwch eu gwneud

Pam cofrestru?
Dysgwch pam ei bod yn bwysig iawn eich bod yn gwneud hynny.

Organ donation law in Wales

The legislation for Wales is deemed consent.

This means that if you haven’t registered an organ and tissue donation decision (opt in or opt out), you will be considered to have no objection to becoming a donor.

Deemed consent in Wales
It will be considered that you agree to become an organ donor when you die, if:

you are over 18;
you have not opted out;
you are not in an excluded group.
Organ donation is your decision. You can choose which organs to donate or opt out of donation altogether.
You can also nominate up to two representatives to make the decision for you. These could be family members, friends, or other people you trust, such as your faith leader.

This legislation was introduced in December 2015.

Who does it affect?
Deemed consent applies to everyone in Wales, except for those who are part of what are called excluded groups.

Excluded groups are:

Those under the age of 18
People who lack the mental capacity to understand the new arrangements and take the necessary action
Visitors to Wales, and those not living here voluntarily
People who have lived in Wales for less than 12 months before their death

Have you registered your organ donation decision?
It takes just two minutes to register online
