Common Questions in Regards to Donation

?

“ Will the doctors do everything they can to try and save me if they know my wishes to be a donor?”

Absolutely

Donation is only considered after all efforts to save a patient’s life have been pursued by the medical team.

“How does religion relate to organ donation?”

The majority of religions support organ donation.

Most religions view organ and tissue donation as a charitable act.

Talk to your religious leader about donation.

“Will donation disfigure the body?”

No

Organs are removed through surgical incisions.

Areas affected by tissue donation are reconstructed and concealed by clothing.

A family is able to have an open casket funeral.

“Does donation cost a family money?”

No

Individual recovering agencies pay for all expenses associated with the recovery.

Those costs are passed on to the recipients and their insurance companies.

The donor’s family is responsible for the typical funeral expenses.

“Will donation cause any delays with funeral arrangements?”

No

The recovering agency will make certain the body is released to the funeral home on time.

No extra planning is required by families of organ and tissue donors.
