Why should you consider becoming an organ and tissue donor?
Here's the bottom line: Organ donation saves lives. After someone dies, organs are donated so that they can be transplanted into another person. To be a donor, permission is required from the individual or immediate family. Organs that can be donated for transplant from a person who has died include:
- Lungs
- Heart
- Kidneys
- Intestines
- Pancreas
- Liver
Organ donation will not cost you or your family anything. Donating does not interfere with funeral arrangements since donation does not change the body's outward appearance.
Organ donation is an act of caring and love supported by all major religions in the U.S.
