What problems do the number of donors and the number of people receiving transplants and the number of people on the transplant list show?

Because few people donate their organs, the list of people on the transplant list exceed the supply. If more doners join the doner list more people will benefit.

Identify or show graph the number of donors?
The graph hows that from 1995 - 2004, the number of donors has decreased, as has the number of transplants being carried out; the number of people needing transplants however, has significantly increased. This means that there is an in balance between the number of organs available for transplant and the number of organ donors, which means that there will obviously not be enough organs to provide each, or even most of those on the transplant list (in need of an organ) with the organ that they need.

What is a living donor?
When an organ transplant is required organs can be sourced from cadavers (dead donors) or from living donors. Living organ donation OS possible because some organs are duplicated in the body (e.g. kidneys) and one of the two can be removed for transplant, and other organs (e.g. the liver) are able to regenerate in the donors body after a portion is removed for transplant. Being a living donor is not a matter to be taken lightly as surgical complications can lead to the death of the donor. In addition, in the case of the removal of a paired organ, the donor foreits his spare organ which might be required later in life. In either case the transplant does not ensure the recovery of the recipient.
