How may a gift of organs be made?

What will be an ideal response?


? By declaration on a driver’s license or other state identification if the client does not drive. This is probably the best way to declare organ donation. Police, fire and EMS personnel will look for this type of identification first.
? Other donor card. Less reliable since emergency personnel may not recognize it.
? By will. Not a reliable method of donation since the will is usually not consulted until the person has died. Organs must be harvested within minutes of death or the tissues degrade and are rendered unusable.
? By other people. Often a decedent’s family will make the decision if no other method has been chosen. It is important to know the decedent’s wishes. If the decedent didn’t have a donor card, it may be because he didn’t believe in organ donation.
