so are you and organ donor i am but many here in germany are not and authorities are trying to increase the number of people willing to donate their healthy organs after death at the moment germany's registry is in so only people who've agreed to donate end up doing so officials want to change that to opt out where everyone is an organ donor until they say no critics argue that the system should remain voluntary let's take a deeper look now at the situation in germany the need is growing by a lot in just the last 2 years the number of people waiting for a new organ more than double to 95. 100 people most of them needed a kidney transplant germany as 82000000 people but last year only 955 citizens donated their organs after they passed away means for every 1000000 people in germany just over 11 are organ donors and sadly just over 900 people who
