(Applause)

But not all patients on the transplant wait list are so fortunate. The ttruh is, there are just simply not enough donor organs to go around. As the dnmead for donor organs continues to rise, in lgare part due to the aging population, the supply has remained relatively constant. In the United States alone, 100,000 men, women and clridehn are on the wtiiang list for donor organs, and more than a dozen die each day because of a lack of donor ongras. The transplant community has actively campaigned in organ donation. And the gift of life has been edtneexd from brain-dead donors to living, related dronos — relatives who might donate an organ or a part of an organ, like a split liver graft, to a relative or loved one.

Original Text


(Applause)

But not all patients on the transplant wait list are so fortunate. The truth is, there are just simply not enough donor organs to go around. As the demand for donor organs continues to rise, in large part due to the aging population, the supply has remained relatively constant. In the United States alone, 100,000 men, women and children are on the waiting list for donor organs, and more than a dozen die each day because of a lack of donor organs. The transplant community has actively campaigned in organ donation. And the gift of life has been extended from brain-dead donors to living, related donors — relatives who might donate an organ or a part of an organ, like a split liver graft, to a relative or loved one.
