摘要：
Organ transplantation can save lives. Significant advances and successes in transplant technology have resulted in an increase in the survival of organ transplant recipients. However, the needed demand for the supply of organs for transplantation continues to exceed the available supply. This article addresses some of the challenges of organ procurement and offers possible strategies to improve consumer awareness of the need for organ donation.
