TEDx Talk Title

Saving Lives by Changing The Default

Overview of TEDx Talk

The goal of this TEDx talk is to educate viewers on the need for legislative change in Northern Ireland from an opt in to opt out system of organ donation. A secondary goal is to inspire viewers to become organ donors. In the talk, a harrowing story of life as a critically ill teenager awaiting transplant in Northern Ireland and the life changing result of receiving a kidney transplant will be shared. Additionally, it will be discussed in light of current research how changing to an opt out system of legislation can improve donation rates in Northern Ireland by influencing our cultural perception of donation, improving our familial rejection rates and inspiring change on a personal level.
