Organ shortage has been a large issue all over the world, almost for as long as there have been organ transplants. Other than the straightforward issues like the organs not matching between the donor and the recipient, limited availability of suitable donors, logistic problems involved with the transplantation procedure etc., another large problem is the sociological perspective on organ transplantation and donation amongst the potential organ donors. People can, for an array of reasons, be for or against organ transplantation and donation, and that is what this study tries to research. It focuses on eight individuals from Serbia, and their views and opinions on the procedure. It attempts to understand why they think in that way, with the help of five aspects the gift, social capital, religion, planned behaviour and information. It also delves into participants' attitudes towards the new law on organ transplantation in India. The study infers about social perspectives of organ donors indicate they do volunteer works for charity and whenever they found a person need help, they will support immediately as per their convenience. In addition, they donate blood for needy people and goods/clothes to charity. Therefore, they allow people to go ahead of them in a queue, they also offer their seat in a bus or train to a stranger who is standing and they give lift in their car/bike to a stranger. Thus, organ donors are willing to donate their family member's organs after their death and willing to discuss about organ donation with their family members. Thus, they are willing donate their organs after their death, in case if anyone of their family members not willing to donate their organs, they will try to convince them, but any person can change his/her decision after signed for organ donation. Therefore, they are willing to sign as an organ donor in their driving license if requested in future.
