BBC NEWS | Wales | South West Wales | Woman 'transformed' by kidney op

A woman whose life was "transformed" by a kidney transplant 26 years ago says she is disappointed health AMs have rejected the idea of presumed consent.

Gloria Owens, 61, from Swansea, received her new kidney in 1982.

She said changing the rules in Wales on how organs are sourced for donation would "benefit the whole of the UK".

She said: "I would dearly love everyone to have the chance of having the gift of life I've had - I have friends who have been waiting a long time."
