He died 5 years ago due to kidney problems he had been struggeling with his whole (short) life.

The government wastes millions on advertising and the effect is zero. I guess the plan of BNN is to shock the world by airing this. And i think it will have some effect.

it must be horrible to know that you are going to die if you can't have a transplant within 3 months.

Knowing that there's enough usefull organs around, but just a small part is available because they never told anybody they want to be a donor.

The best solution imho is to make everybody a potential donor by law. And the only way to dodge that, is to send them a letter that you don't want to be a ddonor. Now it's the other way around.
I must say that we live in a fucked up society if stupid reality shows became the only means to attract attention on such important and noble matters
