While an estimated 90 percent of Americans favor donation, less than half that sign donor cards share the decision with their families. So it's important that you tell your family, clergy, friends and co-workers your desires should the unthinkable happen. Many did not know the United Methodist position on organ donation. It's the last opportunity to extend the ultimate gift to someone else. It also allows families to extend their loved one's life through others.
Churches also can contact their local or regional organ procurement organizations.
