The universal standard of measurement by country is the number of donors per million people - where bigger means more donors. Canada's number is 13. In Spain it is 34, Belgium 24, United States 22, France 20, Norway 19 and Italy 18. Our failure is the result of an insufficient number of deceased donors who have signed their donor cards, or families who have not voluntarily offered organs, or have said no when asked for them, or were never asked.

I know donations were low, but 13/million!
So if our population is around 35 million, that means there were 455 donors last year?
