Anyone can explain this table to me?

[Lirange]

Writing a persuasive speech. And I do not get this table. http://organdonor.gov/ It says there were 16k transplants yet only 8k donors.. Doesn't make sense to me.

[Blaaaaaaaah]

Maybe cos the donor can donate more than one thing?

[Lirange]

oh.. right

It's amazing the amount of things one body can generate for transplant.

[Blaaaaaaaah]

I'm just wildly guessing though hahaha

[Blaaaaaaaah]

I wonder if the stats include dead people? Cos that'll explain the low number of donors-high number of transplants ratio.

I'm sure they'd include dead people. Actually, i think most of them are dead. There are only so many things a living person can donate.
