So let me get this straight. Israel has a very dire situation wrt availability of organs because few people donate and doctors aren't able to steal dead people's organs. Israel's situation is worse than that of many other western countries (although no doubt it's bad for everyone). Why is it insane to think that some of the disparity may be reduced through education/brainwashing? About 15% of Sweden's population is in the national donor registry, which provides them with a way to ensure that their families respect their wish to donate their organs in case of their death (and makes for a smoother process overall). There's mounting social pressure to get registered, and donating blood is already akin to a religious activity. I can't give any due to my malaria-tainted blood so I get no cinnamon buns and nice glasses
