Support for opt-out organ donation policy in South Korea 2023
According to a survey conducted in South Korea in 2023, around 50 percent of respondents stated that they agreed or strongly agreed with an opt-out system for organ donation. Such a system would automatically register everyone as a potential organ donor unless they explicitly withdraw their consent to participate. In 2023, there were only 483 brain-dead organ donors in the country, while over 50,000 people were waiting for organ transplants as of September 2023.
