Decline In Cadaveric Donors In Canada

In 1995 there were 437 diseased organ transplants in Canada. In 2005, there were only 414 diseased organ transplants. It has a lot to do with advanced medical technology. But, at least here in BC, where 85% of the population would like to be an organ donor, only 13% are registered, because they think that simply putting a sticker on your drivers license will qualify you as a donor. There is a link here to the transplant society in BC where you can go and get properly registered as an organ donor.

Thanks Kevin, but that is what mothers' are for. We all need a mother when life deals us a rotten hand. I wish I still had mine.
You have gone through so much in your life. I hope you have your family to support you. You take care, and thanks for your support.
Hugs, Christina
