Unfortunately,' while most people in this country support the concept of organ donation, organs are often not donated due to misperceptions about the procedures involved. Understanding the organ donation process, though, could help eliminate some of these misperceptions and help save the lives of those who desperately not'd transplants. One of the most common mis- donated for mi'dical research to help find cure's for illnesses and disease. Many families fear that organ donation could effect funeral arrangements for their loved one. Fbrtunately, organ donation does not alter or delay funeral arrangements nor do donations disfigure the body, which means an open casket is still possible. In addition, there is no cost to the family or the estate of the donor; all hospital costs related to the organ recovery are paid for by the organ procurement organization. If you would like to become an organ donor, you can have your wishes indicated on your drivers license or by signing an organ donor card and having it witnessed. Donor cards can be obtained by calling the Coalition on Donation, a nonprofit room and arrangement office. For an appointment, anytime of the day or night, 1 please call and ask for organization at However, the ultimate responsibility will rest with members of your family At the time of your death, they will be asked if you ever indicated your desire to donate organs and tissues. Be sure your family know's of your wishes as your request to be an organ donor will not be carried out unless they sign a consent form. The decision to become an organ donor is an important and personal choice.

This, in fact, is untrue. Efforts to save your life will not be lessened if you wish to become an organ donor. This Is because the organ donations occur under strict operating room guidelines. The medical team that treats patients is separate from the transplant team, and the patient has to be declared brain dead by physicians not affiliated with the transplant recovery team. common Another is donors that misperception must be young and healthy. Again, this is untrue. Anyone can be an organ donor, regardless of age or medical history. Rather, its the condition of your organs and tissues at the time of your death that is the determining factor.
