Jerusalem, December 18: Israel is about to become the first country in the world to encourage citizens to sign organ donor cards by rewarding them with priority status should they later need a transplant.
The reward “provides an incentive for individuals to agree to help each other” according to one of its architects, Professor Jacob Lavee of Sheba Hospital near Tel Aviv who has written about it in the latest issue of the medial journal, The Lancet.
