Another story… “In 2011, my 16 year-old son Aaron was involved in a road crash, where he sustained fatal head injuries. He was hit at just after 5 pm and his life support machine was turned off at just after midnight. Aaron was a kind and loving child, who had often spoken about organ donation. Obviously we never expected in a million years to be faced with the situation that occurred on that night, but one thing that sticks out in my mind is that we were never asked about donation.” Organ Donation Past, Present and Future 3 3

Another story… “I raise this issue as a pointer to the service for the future. I utterly regret that I was not given the chance to “share” Aaron with someone else, to give life from his death. At the time, I needed someone to raise the issue. I simply didn’t have the fortitude to do so and in the context of difficult decisions that night, the decision to donate organs would have been the easiest of all.” Organ Donation Past, Present and Future 4 4
