I think there are probably three things to consider when trying to come up witha solution for a problem like this.

1) Organ supply could be short - not enough willing donors
2) Hospital resources are insufficient - a probable scenario, but also an easy scapegoat
3) General health of the population is poor, increasing demand - let's face it most people treat their bodies like **** and then expect the system to come down and rescue them in times of need. I'd like to think Canadians are fairly personally responsible from day to day, but not when it comes to health of the individual.
