Abstract: In six pages this paper discusses how to improve organ donations through clarification of confusion regarding the concepts of death, calming the fears that signing a donor card and offering organ donation consent encourages physicians to hasten death, and the importance of community education to change perceptions, attitudes, and to develop a more informed awareness of what organ donation and transplantation means. Seven sources are listed in the bibliography.
