“…A 2017 study in Mexico, found, distrust in the transplant process to be one of the key hurdles that prevent people from donating their organs after death. [37] In our study, distrust towards the health-care system constituted 130 (57.78%) of all apprehensions (Refer Fig 2). Nearly a quarter of all participants unwilling to sign up were apprehensive because they believed their organs would be used for medical research rather than for patient-care.…”

This misconception should be corrected in order to increase the rate of organ donations among the older population.…”

“…En un estudio también realizado en México, pero entre población general, se encontró que numerosas personas de 65 años o más creían que no podían ser donadoras porque sus órganos "ya no sirven". 8 Esta creencia debe ser corregida, y el personal médico podría encargarse de esta tarea si estuviera preparado adecuadamente. Cabe mencionar que más de 50 % de los donadores en España durante 2019 fueron adultos mayores.…”
