Organ Donation

Organ Donation

There are many people that need organs; there are over 71,000 people waiting for transplants in the United States (United Network for Organ Sharing).   This list is growing rapidly in the United States alone; a new name is added to the transplant waiting list every 16 minutes (UNOS).  This should be reason enough for individuals to donate but this isn’t the case or we wouldn’t have a waiting list this large.
Organ and tissue transplantation is proven to extend and enhance lives.  Medical advances continue to make transplantation safer and more effective.   As of the beginning of 2000, the survival rates for transplants are about 95% for kidney recipients, 85% for liver and heart recipients and 75% for lung recipients (Wisconsin donor network).  Unfortunately, organ and tissue donation has not increased at the same pace.
