    If you donate your organs upon your death, you could potentially save or enhance the lives of many other people. Each day, literally thousands of people are waiting for an organ or tissue transplant. Some of them will not make it before a suitable donor can be found.

    Organ Donation Needs

    Here is a list of some of the most needed organs for transplant:

    • Heart
    • Kidneys
    • Pancreas
    • Lungs
    • Liver
    • Intestines

    Most needed tissues include:

    • Eyes
    • Skin
    • Bone
    • Heart valves
    • Tendons

    Almost every organ and tissue in the body can be used in various ways to help save, lengthen, and enhance the life of another person in need of transplant material.

    Donation Facts

    Let your family know your intentions as soon as you decide to become a donor. Here are a few facts you might like to share with concerned or reluctant family members:

    • Your family won't be charged any fees for the donation.
    • The body of an organ donor is never desecrated; an open casket service or viewing may be held after an organ collection.
    • The collection of organs is carried out in a completely sterile, professional surgical environment.
    • Organ donation is only an option after all other attempts have been made to save your life.
    • Donor organs are matched to waiting recipients through the National Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN).
    • Organ allocation and distribution is not based on social status, gender, or age.
    • Organs may be donated at any age, although the general age limit for tissue donation is 70. At the time of your death, medical professionals will determine whether your organs are usable.

    Becoming an Organ Donor

    You may register to become an organ donor at any age, but if you're younger than 18, you must get your parent's permission first.
