A member asked:
What is the process of donating your organ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Look at this site: http://www.Organdonor.Gov/about/organdonationprocess.Html the altruistic process of donation begins when people perform the simple act of indicating their consent to be a donor by enrolling in their state's donor registry. At some point, a potential donor is admitted to a hospital because of illness or accident. Organ donation takes place after death is declared.
