One of the modalities for increasing the number of needed organs is advancing the notion of “living donors” and encouraging individuals to donate an organ (e.g., kidney) or a segment (e.g., liver) in order to provide transplant candidates with life-sustaining organs or tissue that help regain much of the candidate’s premorbid functionality.
