Imagine how many matching organs are just left to rot in the ground.
Can't just implant a 90 year old liver. And a lot of them are unsalvageable. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be mandatory, just that it will still be a limited resource.
I don't want to be morbid, but with as many gun deaths as there are in the US there are lots of young livers to go around.
God, the custom tailored ideal American healthcare system, you're right but I hate it lol
Once again. There is more than the USA out there....
In my country, people are automatically registered as a donor. If you don't want to donate, you have to choose to opt out.
Ever since that law was passed, I see organ transport ambulances around my city's hospital from time to time. Transporting a matching organ to a waiting patient. The bold letters spelling "organ transport" on a red band is a weird but good thing to see.
Sounds dutch
I think the US can supply surplus to its neighbors.
