8 September 2018. Several academic and industry research efforts are developing new technologies to replace failing organs, including kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart. In the past year, Science & Enterprise reported on a number of these projects such as 3-D printing of replacement organs and growing new human organs in pigs to replace those that fail; see links below.<\/p>\n

Until those technologies come to fruition, however, donated organs will remain the preferred option, when all other solutions are exhausted. Our friends at Statista<\/a> this week compiled data from surveys conducted by the international polling company Ipsos showing percentages of respondents willing to donate their organs upon their death, this weekend’s infographic.<\/p>\n

The data show Colombia and India have the largest percentage of people willing to donate their organs, about 3 in 4 in each country. Roughly two-thirds of those in Canada, Australia, U.K., Italy, and the U.S. will also donate their organs. Russia comes in last, with less than 1 in 3 (30%).<\/p>\n
