Becoming an organ and tissue donor is a significant decision and can come with many questions. When you’re ready, we’re here to provide you with some clarification and peace of mind.
Organ and tissue donation is the process of voluntarily giving organs, tissues, or both from a deceased or living donor to save or improve the lives of individuals with organ failure, medical conditions, or injuries. Organs like the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and tissues such as skin, corneas, and bone can be transplanted to restore health and enhance the quality of life.
Most people can be potential donors regardless of age, medical history, or ethnicity. Medical professionals assess suitability at the time of death based on medical and lifestyle factors. Even individuals with certain medical conditions may be eligible to donate specific organs or tissues.
To become an organ and tissue donor, you need to register your decision with Alberta Registry. Registration can often be done online, through driver’s License registration, or at our office. It’s crucial to communicate your decision to your family to ensure your wishes are respected.
