Organ Donation COLEMAN MATTHEWS
What is donation? It is a choice. By means of a transplant, organ donation allows
your organs to help people in need. Four types of donations Organ Tissue Cornea Living
Organ Donation The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) keeps an
up-to-date computer network linking together all operating transplant centers. A living donor can give a kidney, a portion of the liver,
lung, intestine or pancreas. A deceased donor can give kidneys, liver, lung, heart,
pancreas and intestinal organs. Patients in need of a transplant are placed on a national
waiting list for a cadaver donation and most often simultaneously search for a living donor.

Mackenzie’s Story
Why should I donate? Every 11 minutes another name is added to the
national organ transplant waiting list. In 2008, there were 7,984 deceased organ donors
and 6,218 living organ donors resulting in 27,961 organ transplants. You will be a hero and leave a lasting impact on so
many people by giving the gift of life.
How can I become a donor? Sign a donor card. In most states, your drivers license will have an
“organ donation” designation. Register with your state’s donor registry. Make sure that your family knows that you wish to be an organ donor.
