Additional Recommendations
Organ donation is a topic you may not like to think about. However, you should discuss your feelings and decisions about organ donation with your family, friends, and doctor. If you are involved in a fatal accident, it's important for your wishes to be clear and in writing, so the doctors and your family know what to do.
Moreover, with tens of thousands of auto accidents reported to the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) every year, severe injuries and fatalities do occur and many life-saving organs are going to waste. Tell your friends and family how much of an impact they can make by registering as an organ donor.
