    I'm not aware of there ever having been a restriction on UK residents for organ donation (there still is for blood).
    In fact the restrictions on blood donors must exclude a large proportion of expats here:
    Five years anywhere in Europe since 1980, three months in the UK between 1980 and 1996, any history of an STD, any male-to-male sexual activity (ever), any payment for sex within the last 12 months...

    I was thinking of the blood. I just assumed it would be the same for organs.

    Wales is doing the right thing, in a couple of years:

    I hope other jurisdictions, especially Hong Kong, copy quickly...
