To the Editor: We respond to the article by Bollen and colleagues.1 In 2021, the results of an international roundtable and in‐depth literature review on the worldwide status of organ donation after euthanasia (ODE), involving eight countries including Australia, were published.2 ODE is indeed both legally and clinically feasible in Australia.2 However, Bollen and colleagues appear to underestimate the serious procedural challenges that remain. In general, their article omits the perspectives of the patient and the provider.
