Thousands of Americans die every year while on wait lists to receive needed organ transplants. The number of organ donors is decreasing while those in need of an organ are decreasing. It would be a lot easier to persuade people to donate if they had a friend a friend or family member in need of an organ donation but we need to change the mindset of Americans who aren’t directly affected or at least perceive that they are not affected by this tragic situation. With people dying needlessly everyday while waiting on organ donation lists, people actually being kidnapped and/or killed for their organs and a demand for those organs only growing, the only way to reverse the trend is to get more people to become organ donors which can only be done through educating the public and creating a cultural shift.
