Good thing, bad thing, up to you to react !
In France, a big debate is surfacing, since it "just" took 39 years for people to realize that organ donations were actually considered as "a priori volunteered" for everyone who dies. (It's just not applied)
To go past the political side of the current debate, here is a well-made infography about the stat of organ donations in france http://www.dondorganes.fr/002-la-penurie-d-organes:
- in 22 years, organ donations increased by 45% (large spectrum of allowed donators explains this).Therefore, logically, an increase in surgery operations
- However, unfortunately, one number erases this good news : 8800 people were waiting for an organ donation in 1993, and now it's over 18 000 !
The lack of organ donations is a real thing here in France !
So what is the situation in your country ? How easy is it to declare yourself as a volunteer donator ?
