LONDON — Offering free funerals to people who donate kidneys, livers and other organs could help boost donation rates, a medical ethics group says.
In a set of recommendations published Monday, the Nuf field Council listed various ways to encourage people to donate body parts such as organs, blood, eggs and sperm.
It suggested that Britain’s health system test the idea of paying for the funerals of people who sign up to the national organ donor register and then die after donating a body part. The free funerals would not be available to living donors, such as people who voluntarily give up a kidney, bone marrow or liver.
