Government to prevent repetition of 'stolen' organs

Today, Professor Liam Donaldson, the government's chief medical officer, is expected to pledge that he will take whatever action is necessary to prevent a repetition of the scandal which saw organs removed from dead babies without the consent of the parents. He will reveal that 50,00 organs are secretly stored in hospitals in England. The move comes after nearly two years of protests by parents.
