I report article about make the new proposal of organ transplant.
Now, we can donate an internal organ from over 15 years old in Japan. But, it is a symptom that for children under 14 years of age can’t take organ transplant operation.

They should go abroad and take an organ transplant in there.
Many people complained about change the organ transplant law.

This time, the government grappled to changing of organ transplant.
If this bill approved, many people can get the chance of the organ transplant. But, determination of brain death of the children is very difficult things and “death” is sensitive problem. So, it is pushed forward carefully now.
The government compiles a plan by the consecutive
holidays and aims at the voting in May.
