The Organ Transplant Law of Japan, which regulates organ transplants using brain-dead persons' organs, has a set of extremely severe intention-requirements. It has stagnated, rather than promoted, the organ transplant in Japan for the last 8 years. We believe that the Law should be reformed by making an about-face from the current "opt-in" to the "opt-out" principle.
日本的《器官移植法》对使用脑死亡者器官进行器官移植作出规范，该法有一系列极其严格的意向要求。在过去8年里，它并未推动，反而阻碍了日本的器官移植。我们认为，该法应进行改革，从目前的“选择加入”原则转变为“选择退出”原则。
