Dr Barry Morgan: Archbishop against organ donation law

The Archbishop of Wales has reflected on his time at the helm of the church ahead of his retirement.

Dr Barry Morgan, who has been at the head of the Church in Wales for nearly 14 years, is set to retire on 31 January - his 70th birthday.

During that time he has supported numerous causes, including gay marriage and more powers for the Welsh Assembly.

But he said he still believes the law introducing presumed consent for organ donation was the "wrong way".

Under the law, adults are regarded as having consented to organ donation unless they have opted out.

"I think what I did object to was people thinking that I was against organ donation," he said.

"I wasn't against organ donation at all, I was just against the method by which they were going about it.

"And I still feel that to be honest because it's much better if people voluntarily say 'we want to give organs'. That's what a gift actually means."
