The waiting list for organ transplantation is a system that gives everyone equal opportunity to meet the criteria that governs it. Once a patient is on the waiting list, he or she is guaranteed that every effort is being made to locate the needed organ or organs as quickly as possible. There is no way a person can buy higher priority on the waiting list. The exception to the listing process is direct donation such as a donation between living related donors. If a qualified recipient is not found locally, the service then turns to the national list.
Every effort is made to find recipients as close as possible to the donation site.
Transplants don't work. Survival rates are impressive. Also, if you consider the chances of survival without a transplanted vital organ are usually zero, you see the true benefit of transplantation. If you're willing to be a donor, the doctors might let you die or not try as hard to save your life. All possible efforts to save the life of the patient must be tried before donation is even considered.
