It's not fair to give an organ to a non-donor as long as there is a donor who needs it. But about 50% of the organs transplanted in the United States go to people who haven't agreed to donate their own organs when they die. It's no wonder there's such a large organ shortage. If organs were allocated first to organ donors, more people would agree to donate and fewer people would die waiting for transplants. Anyone who would like to donate their organs to other organ donors can join LifeSharers at www.lifesharers.org or by calling 1-888-ORGAN88. Membership is free. There is no age limit, parents can enroll their minor children, and no one is excluded due to any pre-existing medical condition.

I dont know what made them arrive on the decision of taking away a hope of life from people who have fewer days to live. I am astonished to know that this prevails in US, a place where people say human life is valued the most. I am surprised to know that something like this exists for liver transplant.
