Earlier in the process, she had expressed a desire to donate her organs. Given her age and overall physical condition aside from her injuries, medical staff reportedly viewed this as a meaningful opportunity to help others. However, as delays affected the timeline of her euthanasia, concerns were raised about the viability of her organs over time.

According to reports, discussions with medical professionals led Noelia to reconsider. Shortly before the procedure, she formally withdrew her consent for organ donation.

Under Spain’s national protocol, this was entirely within her rights.

Patients who choose assisted dying may revoke consent for organ donation at any point, without needing to provide justification, and without affecting their access to euthanasia. In Noelia’s case, her final decision was respected, and the procedure proceeded without organ donation.
