A member asked:
Is it true that the number of people needing organ donations continues to rise much faster than the number of registered donors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: More people are in need of transplant than there are organs available. My recommendation to people is to make sure your family knows your wishes to be an organ donor if you pass away.
