The problems

Politician
Politicians of Grünen, Die Linken and the AFD have voted against opt-out-regulation , practiced in many European countries.

Individuals
People have lost confidence in transplantation medicine since 2012 because of the organ donation scandal that was in the media.

Politics
The German Bundestag rejected the objection regulation (opt-out). With this regulation, Spain, for example, has four times as many organs on offer as Germany.

Clinic
Transplant medicine of the clinics have not implemented the requirements: Since 2019, they have received more funding. Despite these equalities of transplant physicians, there is no improvement.

Society
Associations, foundations and organizations are overwhelmed with the problems. This was clearly demonstrated by the silence and acceptance of the federal election on January 16, 2020.
