From time to time, the British medical Association (BMA) has been trying hard to make it easier for the patients seeking organ transplant to get an organ donor. It has come to light that with the pursuit of making organ available to all, the BMA has once again expressed its support for the "opt-out" system.

It has been unveiled that only 70 people have donated their organs this year but the number of patients seeking organ transplant is as higher as 778. With the pursuit of giving family members a right to decide, whether or not they would like the organ of their deceased member to be donated, the BMA is asking the authorities concerned to be soft with the family members.

The BMA's Scottish Council is of the view that the soft procedure or friendly procedure of taking the consent of the family members would allow doctors to conduct organ transplant. Dr. Sue Robertson from BMA's Scottish Council said, "As doctors it is difficult to see our patients dying and suffering when their lives could be saved or dramatically improved by a transplant".

The Deputy First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, is also supporting the proposed idea of the BMA of making the procedure easier for the family members to allow doctor retrieve organs from their deceased family members.

The BMA has pointed out that further efforts would be required to be made towards speeding up the organ transplants as many patients succumb to death while waiting for organ transplant. The waiting list of the patients seeking organ transplant is quite higher.

It also has been proposed that the high risk patients like elders could also be contacted for the organ donations. Besides, new born babies who have least chances of surviving can also prove helpful in saving life. The hearts of the new born babies can be transplanted to risky patients.
