Abstract
On average 18 people die every day while awaiting an organ transplant in the U.S., and every 10 minutes, another name is added to the list of people waiting for a donation. In spite of the advances in medicine, the number of deaths that occur due to organ failure or other complications that could be avoided by organ donation are still very high. This is contributed in part by the fact that there is currently no way of connecting potential donors to recipients that need the organs hence, an organ donation system beyond pair-wise matching
