Organ Donor



Share Emailz

The rules for organ donation vary by state. Patients with active cancer are frequently not able to donate most organs. Corneas are an exception to this and are usually accepted (except from leukemia patients). If you are interested in being an organ donor I would suggest that you go ahead and sign up. When you die, the medical professionals present can determine if any of your organs/tissues qualify for transplantation. The rules for organ donation vary by state.
