Transplantation
saves lives, but only if you help. All you need to do is say yes
to organ and tissue donation on your donor card and/or driver's
license, sign up on your state’s donor registry (if there
is one), and discuss your decision with your family.
Each
day about 70 people receive an organ transplant, but another
16 people on the waiting list die because not enough organs
are available.
Talk
to your family members about organ and tissue donation so they
know your wishes. Even if you've signed something, your family
may be asked to give consent before donation can occur.
