The supply of organs is the only factor which limits the scope of transplantation to help the severely ill. As the number of donors can not be appreciably increased, the functional and medical criteria for donors are reduced instead. Although the already positive attitude of the public to cadaveric organ donation is unlikely to improve further, intensified information campaigns might result in more people discussing organ donation with their relatives and informing them of their views, which would help surviving relatives to decide for or against organ donation. It should also be possible to improve access to organs by educating health care personnel.
器官供应是限制移植范围以帮助重症患者的唯一因素。由于捐赠者数量无法显著增加，因此只能降低对捐赠者的功能和医学标准。尽管公众对尸体器官捐赠的积极态度不太可能进一步改善，但强化宣传活动可能会使更多人与其亲属讨论器官捐赠并告知自己的观点，这将有助于在世亲属决定是否同意器官捐赠。通过对医护人员进行培训，也应该能够改善器官获取情况。
