A member asked:
Can a healthy person donate a heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: However, he has to be dead first. That means he first must believe in organ donation, desire to donate his organ(s), and sets up the paperwork for organ donation. Then, if he dies in an accident (or some similar scenario), the doctors will know to contact the transplant team to "harvest" his organ(s).
