The 44 of asking drivers to be organ donors has shown to be successful .In America , the national average of organ donors is 38% but in Illinois where drivers are asked about organ donation the rate is 60% .Other western nations have also seen huge rises in the number of organ donors since asking drivers.

Others have criticized the project because it predicts death. The strongest criticism has come from those who highlighted that it conflicts with traditional Chinese 46 which state how important it is for the body to be 47 unbroken.
