I am a 3rd year illustration student and would like to base my dissertation on organ donation, hopefully the research I gain will help establish a way to make more people aware of organ donation and the importance of being on the organ donor register.

I hope my research will inform me about the type of campaign needed and will be most effective. I also hope to discover which minorities are in the low percentage on the donor register and therefore I should aim to target. I would be most grateful if you would be willing to answer a few questions I have concerning organ. The data you share with me will go into my research.
