AB  - Every day there are families who face the task of deciding the fate of loved ones involved in catastrophic events which have rendered them brain dead. Each year, of the 20,000 who die who would qualify as organ donors, only 15% actually become organ donors. This is largely because families were not presented with the opportunity to donate. This study proposed to describe the experiences of the legal decision makers who are involved in such situations and who have consented to donate the organs of brain dead individuals for transplantation.
