More than a third of Germans have so far avoided making a decision about organ donation. From March 18th it will be easier: You can easily register your yes or no to organ donation online.
Only one in a thousand people who dies becomes an organ donor in Germany. The oldest donor we had in Germany was 98 years old. Donors are usually accidental deaths. It's used to be the associated case that people always associated organ donation with motorcycle accidents, says Axel Rahmel, German Organ Transplantation Foundation.
