Abstract:
Organ transplantation from brain-dead state becomes possible under the act for brain death and organ transplantation after a very long incubation period of 30 years. In a year after the enforcement of the act, we have no cases of such a type of organ transplantation. There are many reasons for such difficulty, including the unfamiliarity of medical staffs to such a new type of organized medical action by teams including citizens. Here, I will discuss how to break the difficulty.
