"We will not go out to remove organs"

The local Cucai chief revealed that many people were consulting him "scared" by the possibility that "they are leaving their organs". He said that, in general, few are able to donate.
Approval just two weeks ago of the Justina Law, promoted by Senator Juan Carlos Marino, which determines that all adults are organ donors Unless they have opposites in life, this has generated great turmoil in the country.
In this sense, the coordinator of Cucai La Pampa, Cristina Arrieta, said that in the province, "many people were afraid to consult, because they think that with this law, if they do not leave in writing, they are interned, they will remove the organs.It is what many people think, and it's not like that, "explained the doctor, to rebadure .
"What I'm saying is that it's not so much change that people think it's going to happen." That's to say, we do not Let's not go out and get bodies like crazy, no, the same operative steps are going to be performed, we have to have the authorization of justice, exactly the same thing, and the one who's not not expressed will also speak to the family, "said Arrieta, in dialogue with LA ARENA. , thought the law generated "more noise, because in fact with the previous law, that of the alleged donor, and we were all donors, only that we had to leave in writing the yes or no, and the family had to to leave his testimony.Now, only the weight is left to the family to decide in a moment of pain, which was presumed, becomes tacit. "
He also said that" most people think we are going to be all the donors, and few people can be, only those who meet certain requirements, who are very many "He also said:" There are many more who can receive than those who can give. " What can be given, for example, "these are the corneas, which today do the most," said the professional.

Over 80 on the waiting list
In the province there are between 54 and 57 people waiting for a kidney, ten who ask for intrathoracic organs (heart and lung), and five people on the list by liver transplantation.
"This is the number of those who are on the waiting list, who is also the same number of those who complete the registration process, who are going to be incorporated," he said. Cristina Arrieta. it is clear that "today, there is no one in a state of emergency, only one patient who is in the liver".

La Pampa, unopposed
After the enactment of the 2006 Donor Act, the number of people who gave evidence of refusal to donate organs began to increase. . Today, in the country, there are one million people who have decided not to be donors. The figures are still unknown, after the impact of Justina law.
In La Pampa, on the other hand, Dr. Arrieta pointed out that there was no "opposition", that is to say, people who note the rejection of the donation. "We did not have any opposition, when they went to protest at our headquarters, they were all in the affirmative, because the opposition is done through a program." We also had a good registry of bone marrow donors, "said Arrieta.
