Says Dr. Li Chih-hsueh: "Car accident victims who are brain dead are our main source of organs." Around 4,000 people die annually in this way, of whom over 1,000 can be classified brain dead. If they could all be organ donors then there would be more than enough to help the 600 or so patients in need of a kidney transplant every year.
「我們勸募捐贈器官的重點放在車禍腦死的人」，李治學醫師說，全國每年約有四千人因車禍死亡，其中一千多人是腦死，而每年需要的腎臟病患約有六百位，若車禍腦死者都能捐贈，就綽綽有餘。
