A cross-party group of German federal legislators from the CDU/CSU, SPD, Greens, and Left Party has introduced a bill to shift Germany to an opt-out organ donation system, under which all eligible adults would be presumed to consent unless they explicitly register an objection. The move comes as Germany records among the lowest donation rates in Europe — just 12 donors per million inhabitants — and remains the only member of the Eurotransplant (the international organ-sharing network covering eight European countries) without such a system, despite surveys showing 85% of Germans support donation in principle. A parliamentary majority is not guaranteed; a rival cross-party group warned against the reform just days earlier, and two previous attempts have failed, though supporters are targeting a first reading before the summer recess and a final vote by year's end.
