But Joyce Robins, of the group Patient Concern, said the law change “would allow taking organs without consent”, and to pretend otherwise was “dishonest and disrespectful”.
She said: "Giving organs to strangers voluntarily is as generous as it gets. The proposed law would allow taking organs without consent.
“Everyone knows the absence of refusal is not consent. Pretending that it can be is dishonest and disrespectful. Provision of a right to opt-out is a smokescreen.
“Assurance that every citizen would hear of the new law, understand it, realise its implications, grasp how to opt-out and get around to doing so –it they wish – is pure fantasy.
“Inevitably organs would be taken from patients against their wishes. That is the object of this phony re-definition of consent.”
A spokesman for the Welsh Government said: “It is important to stress the issue of donation will be approached sensitively and as now, families will still be involved in the process, which cannot go ahead without their assistance.”
He added: “Deemed consent will not apply to everyone - there will be safeguards for children, people who lack capacity and people who do not live in Wales.”
