MOST Scots do not think families of relatives who want to donate their organs after death should be able to override their wishes, new research has found.
At present, four out of 10 potential organ donors, including many on the donation register, are unable to save lives when they die due to the objections of relatives, who can veto the move.
A poll found 86% of Scots believe donors should have the final say, with only 7% thinking relatives should be able to prevent the donation.
