Social Media and Organ Donor Participation

Christopher Boyer has recently interviewed Chris Bevolo and also featured the great and creative videos of Half the Men.

Minnesota men in this age category register to be organ and tissue donors at a lower rate than the general population. The Half The Men initiative seeks to raise the rate of registration in this group to 50% by the end of October 2009, resulting in more than 13,000 new organ and tissue registrants. Knowing that one person can save or enhance up to 60 lives through organ and tissue donation, the impact on those waiting for a transplant would be significant.

A few examples how this important issue can reach people through social media/viral videos.
