Applying
to be on the Organ/Tissue/Eye Donors Registry is as simple and convenient as
check-marking a box on your driver’s license application nowadays. If that
method seems to blunt for you, more detailed information is always available on
the “U.S. Government Information on Organ
and Tissue Donation and Transplantation” webpage. There, you can either apply
online or print an application and mail it in. Information on what parts of
your body you can choose to donate upon dying and what parts you can forbid are
explained in detail. They also give instructions on what steps to take if one
wishes to do a live donation (a donation in which the organ is transplanted
from one living donor to a living recipient). So ask yourself, is supposed lack
of convenience holding you back? If so, you have simple options as listed
above, if not, move on to the next question, “does my religion conflict with my
donation?”
