Only 10% of global transplant needs are met, that's why scientists are exploring xenotransplantation, the use of animal organs for humans. Some countries have switched to “opt-out” donation systems, where everyone is a potential donor unless they say otherwise, but studies show that policy changes alone aren't enough. Real progress also depends on better transplant coordination, healthcare resources, and open conversations about donation wishes.
