Who should own your body when you die?
Should organ donation be mandatory?

The 1st successful organ transplant took place in 1954 when a man offered his twin brother a kidney. The 1st transplant from a deceased donor occurred 8 years later.
In the US:
• There are current 117,000 people waiting for an organ
• Many of these, as much as 60%, will die while on the list
• On average every ten minutes, someone is added to the waiting list
• On average, 22 people die each day while waiting for a transplant.
• A single organ donor can save eight lives
• However only 3 in 1000 people die in a way that allows for organ donation
• And while 95% of US adults support organ donation only 54% are donors
• The waiting list has continued to grow each year at a rate that exceeds donation

If we could fix this problem millions of lives could be saved.

There are 5 approaches to the way organs are donated:
(1) Explicit Consent
(2) Bartering system or Organ Market
(3) Routine Removal
(4) Presumed Consent
(5) Mandated Choice

I propose that Presumed Consent should be adopted globally.
