Good poll Aelia. I will watch this with interest. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I don't belive any government have the possibility to encourage more people to be donors. I believe it is up to the hospitals to do so, the experts that is. Most people have strange notions about what doctors/scientists can and can't do today with donated organs/blood. I believe we need to get rid of these myths before we see a rise in donors.

Also there is already a "priority system" enacted today. Smokers will not get new lungs until they have stopped smoking! That would be a waste of a precious lung. Also age matters. When you have reached a certain age, say about 70 years old, you are more likely to not get a transplant since we have such a shortage of organs.
