Why donate?
Because you may save up to 8 lives through organ donation and enhance many others through tissue donation.Last year alone, organ donors made more than 28,000 transplants possible. Another one million people received cornea and other tissue transplants that helped them recover from trauma, bone damage, spinal injuries, burns, hearing impairment and vision loss.
Unfortunately, thousands die every year waiting for a donor organ that never comes. You have the power to change that.
You have the power to save up to 8 lives after you pass, and you won't need the organs after you depart.
Many individuals have religious objections to organ donation, but often times this is the result of a misconception. For example, many believe the Catholic Church forbids organ donation. As a Catholic I can tell you this is not the case. Organ donation is accepted and encouraged as long as minimal criteria are met (life is not intentionally ended to allow organ donation, etc.). It's also a common misconception that you will not receive the same level of medical care if you are a donor, once again this is NOT true.
I'm happy to answer any questions about organ donation or research any concerns. Cute baby pictures to follow...
