Dying To LiveJuly 28, 2019

Deep beneath the complex world of organ and tissue transplantation are the heart-wrenching stories of real people awaiting life-saving organs in Australia. Why must they wait so long? Are changes in policy required – or shifts in perception? Is it as simple as signing up and having the conversation with loved ones? And why do we avoid the topic of death? What does it take to support a family member running out of time as they await the generosity of strangers? How difficult is it to consider the death of a loved one as a chance at life for someone else? And how much love and understanding does it take to make the compassionate decision to become a physical philanthropist?

Dying To Live was broadcast on SBS ONE at Tuesday 4 February 2020, 18:00. This episode was initially placed on Sunday 28 July 2019.
