- candiodari 8y agoWanna bet that's because those stats are talking about different things. First, it's kidney transplants. Significant numbers are voluntary donors. Second those stats are about people being kept alive a significant amount of time before the doctors considered them as donors. Amount of organs (with the donor dying as a result, so kidney ... not a great example) with the donor being kept alive for some amount of hours before the donation ? 100%.
- walshemj 8y agoNo they are not it was low single figures >6% or so
