Call To ActionWhenever you see organ donation or transplantation portrayed wrongly on television, whether it be on a news report, daytime talk show, prime-time drama, or late night TV, take a moment to write to the network airing the program. Even a short note or postcard to register your concerns will help. It's important to continually remind the media of their role and responsibility in shaping the public’s perception of organ donation. Polls show that most Americans get their information about organ donation and transplantation from television and movies. More than 80,000 Americans are in need of an organ transplant. Nearly
1,000 children are waiting for a liver transplant. On average,16 people
die each day while waiting for an organ transplant. Consistently
accurate information is key to gaining public support for the organ
donation cause. Network Addresses:CBS ABC, Inc. NBC FOX Broadcasting Co.
