This article gives a personal accounts perspective on an issue regarding organ transplantation in
Sweden. The issue is that Sweden has a very significant organ shortage where many people were put on
waiting at lists at a time. There are three main problems that consists of Swedens public, laws and the
routines of intensive care units. Only 15% of the population sign up to the national donation register. In
addition to this, transplantation legislation is old and vague and some care units dont have adequate
equipment and medicine.
