26-year-old Macauley Owen's organs donated after farming accident, saving four lives; Wales' organ donation consent rate lower than other UK regions.

Macauley Owen, a 26-year-old groundworks engineer from Anglesey, Wales, died in a farming accident in January 2023. Following his death, his organs were donated, saving four lives. His partner, Delyth Owen, encourages others to register as organ donors. In the year ending March 31, 2023, Wales saw 154 organ transplants from deceased donors, but the organ donation consent rate remains lower than in other UK regions. Efforts are needed to raise awareness about organ donation.
