For those of you who follow my Icelandic writings í Fréttablaðið, I wrote an article about organ donations last Friday. When it comes down to officially registering your wish with regards to organ donations, the only formal way seems to be writing formal “living will” and sending it to the Directorate of Health. I was interested to see how many had indeed taken such steps. According to the staff of the Directorate this number is currently 460 people, in the entire country.
