One individual can provide organs, bone and tissues for 75 or more people in need. Most people can become an organ donor or tissue donor, depending on their state of health at the time of death. The decision to sign a donor card will in no way affect the level of medical care for s sick or injured person. Physicians involved in recovery of transplanted organs are never involved in the diagnosis or declaration of death. Organs and tissues are given to those who are the best match and are in the most need.
All expenses are the responsibility of the procurement agency.
New drivers licenses in almost every states of the country are required to contain information on organ donation. Additional information and donor cards are available from The Sharing Network.
