The psychology of organ donation with Dr. Jake Crawshaw

It's Be A Donor month in April, and we wanted to explore the factors that either encourage or discourage people from becoming organ donors. The vast majority of Canadians say they are in favour of organ donation, yet most are not organ donors. Why is this? And why doesn't an 'opt-out' option solve the problem? We spoke with Dr. Jake Crawshaw about this and more.
