Everything I know about organ donation will come from this course. I don't think I would have gotten exposure to such comprehensive information otherwise. Really enjoyed the course.

The course offers a great knowledge and it is enjoyable and quick. However, your assessments are sort of meant to trick you. They are more like mind games, if you miss on the wording then you are out.

interesting about or donation. Although, it is the 2010s, as I have surprised there was no mention of growing organs using 3-D printers or any futuristic technologies used that would help in organ donation.
