France has reversed its policy on organ donations so that all people could become donors on their death unless they join an official register to opt out. French MP's have rewritten the country's rules on organ donation - meaning any deceased adult will be considered to have given their approval for organs to be used, unless they refuse beforehand on a national register.  There are 19,000 people on the organ transplant waiting list in France. Opinion polls suggest about 80% of people are happy for their organs to be used after they die. The European Union has highlighted the lack of organs for transplant and the increasing number of patients on waitings lists worldwide. Its figures claim that in 2014, 86,000 people were waiting for organ donations in EU states, Norway and Turkey, and 16 people were dying every day while waiting for a transplant. This policy could be a landmark in saving the lifes of people who needs a transplant.
