Why Not Donate?



There is no reason not to donate!!


Contrary to popular belief:


-Your commitment to donation will not interfere with your medical care. Organ, eye and tissue donation becomes an option only after all lifesaving efforts have been made.


-The body is always treated with great care, respect and dignity.


-It is illegal to distribute organs based on non-medical information such as wealth, citizenship, or celebrity status.


-Major religions support organ, eye and tissue donation as an unselfish act of charity.


-Donations should not delay or change funeral arrangements.


-There is no cost to the donor’s family or estate for donation.


-In the US, it is illegal to buy or sell organs or tissue for transplantation.


-It is possible to donate life to others as a living kidney or partial liver, lung, intestine or pancreas donor.
