Introduction

Organ donation is the donation of biological tissue oran organ of the human body, from a living or dead personto a living recipient in need of a transplantation.

An average of 18 people die each day while on thewaiting list for an organ donation.

There are currently over 110,00 people waiting for anorgan donation.

The largest group waiting is from 18-49 years of age. Organs and tissues from a single non-living donor can be

used to benefit more than 50 people.

Living donors can donate a kidney and parts of their liver,lung, pancreas, or intestine.

Living donors can be evaluated to help a friend, familymember or even donate anonymously to patients on thewait list.

Organs to donate Give your sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise,

a baby’s face or love in the eyes of a woman. Give your heart to a person whose own heart has caused

nothing but endless days of pain. Give your blood to the teenager who was pulled from the

wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see hisgrandchildren play.

Give your kidneys to the one who depends on a machineto exist from week to week.

Take your bones, every muscle, every fibre and nerve inyour body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.Explore every corner of your brain.

Take your cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that,someday a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a batand a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against herwindow.

You're never too old to be a donor. All those on the waiting list are treated equally the same,

based on their medical condition.
