CAIRO — Egyptian writer Khaled Montaser used his Oct. 1 book signing to call on intellectuals, artists, and influential figures to help raise awareness of organ donation. He urged them to register as organ donors to encourage citizens to follow suit.
Montaser also called for adding donor status to driver's licenses.
