Figures released today show that the number of organs donated by New Zealanders in 2006 has decreased by four to a new record low of 25. In 2005 the number of organs donated equalled 29, a previous record low in New Zealand. Before 2005 the number of organ donations averaged 40, an already low number by international standards.
People will start to be more interested in becoming donors once they see how great the need is.
