... that the healthcare campaigner who pioneered organ donor cards in the UK placed a personal ad in The Times looking for a "cadaver kidney" for her son? Source: Ward, Elizabeth (1988). Timbo: a Struggle for Survival. Sidgwick & Jackson (published 1988-05-01). pp. 50–51. Quoted in inline citation.
- ALT1: ... that the healthcare campaigner who pioneered organ donor cards in the UK compared the debate over opt-out consent for organ donation to that around seatbelt legislation? Source: Ward, E. (1991-01-05). "A tragic and wicked waste of life". BMJ.
  "The introduction of seat belt legislation into Britain some few years ago amazed a great number of people who claimed that the law severely interfered with the rights of the individual. The bill went through parliament with ease because it had the full support of the entire medical profession. Until the medical profession is prepared to give similar support to opting out legislation as being the only possible solution to the grave shortage of donor organs for transplantation there will be a continuing waste of life-a waste which I believe to be wicked as well as tragic."

Reviewing

Article is long enough and new enough
Article is well written, neutral and supported by inline citations.
Both hooks are short enough, correctly formatted and supported by inline citations.It is helpful to have the quote from the book supporting the citation for the original hook. Note that the text quoted in the citation should be tidied eg removing hyphens from 'suit-able', 'get-ting', 'eight-een' etc
No Copyvio detected on Earwig
QPQ exempt
Adding information about her early life would enhance the article further. She was an influential campaigner and an article about her is welcome. Well done. Papamac (talk) 11:25, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Papamac Thanks for the review, and the helpful feedback. I plan to try to get this to good article status, so the pointer on early life info is useful! Jonathan Deamer (talk) 20:56, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
