Save A Life Today; Surprising Facts About Organ Donation

How To Become A Donor

Apparently, ninety-five percent of the American population supports organ donation, but only fifty-four percent of the population are actually registered organ donors. Every ten minutes, another anxiously waiting patient is added to the growing list of those who need a transplant, and only three out of one thousand people will perish in such a manner that their organs can be appropriately harvested for an effective transplant. Based on these facts, it is paramount that an individual either becomes a donor or at least considers the idea of donating an organ while they are still alive or when they are deceased. The easiest and best way to become a donor is to sign a card, which you can obtain on the U.S. government website for organ donations, obtain a form from a government office, register directly with the donor registry online or sign the back of your driver’s license. Children must have their parents permission to become an organ donor.

Remember that anybody of any age, ethnicity, or with any medical condition can become an organ donor. Save a life and register today!
