Hope will take you from today to tomorrow and to every tomorrow thereafter. Be thankful and please, look at your cup as half full. Most people share the same misconceptions about organ donation. But the facts don't change. The decision to sign a donor card will in no way affect the level of medical care a sick or injured person will receive.
Most religions support organ donation.
Organs are computer matched according to compatibility of donor and recipient blood and tissues, determined by various tests, waiting time, and the medical need of the recipient. Social or financial data are not part of the computer configuration that decides who receives an organ. The organs are removed with dignity, in a surgical procedure similar to that performed on a living person. The donation process is fairly simple. A transplant coordinator then assists the referring hospital and the donor family with the medical and legal aspects of organ donation and obtains consent for donation.
