Low organ rates in Canada are attributable to; guess what “clean and Healthy living”!

According  to a report entitled “Donation  Matters – Demographics  and organ transplant in Canada,2000 to 2004 by the Vancouver based  Urban  Futures  Institute, the low rate is largely due to the fact that fewer  Canadians die from motor  vehicle  accidents, gunshots and cerebral – vascular diseases  such as stroke and aneurysm. Canada ranks 13th in the world for organ donation with a rate of 13.7% donations per million people.
