Wales has become the first country in the UK to introduce a soft opt-out system for organ and tissue donation. The new law will now presume consent for people's organs and tissues to be donated unless they stipulate otherwise.
A major change aimed at getting more transplant organs for people who desperately need them finally became Welsh law today.
The First Minister said it was the most significant legislation ever passed by the Assembly - and the Health Minister claimed that it was a momentous day.
But it seems Wales might not be quite ready for the organ donation system - as it won't be implemented for another two years.
