Overcoming taboos concerning organ donation: a BBC broadcast

 Here's a BBC broadcast on generational change that talks about how young people are helping to overcome taboos regarding organ donation. (They chat with me about organ exchange, including a liver lobe for a kidney, and about having hairdressers talk to customers about deceased donation.)

Listen now

"Generation change: Part two, The Documentary

"BBC presenter Babita Sharma and correspondent Megha Mohan meet the young people from India, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, the United States and the United Arab Emirates fighting to change taboos around organ donation and for greater diversity in the critical fields of science, technology, engineering and maths. We also speak to Nobel Prize awarded contributors including kidney transfer campaigner and economist Alvin Roth as well as astronomer and Physics Laureate Andrea Ghez."
