IF YOU NEEDED A KIDNEY
OR OTHER VITAL ORGAN TO LIVE . . .
WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO GET ONE?
This question can only be answered by first
_ answering a number of other questions:
WHAT 18 THE PRESENT STATUS OF
ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION?
A < Advances in medical science now make it
possible to replace a variety of malfunctioning human
organs. For instance, since 1954 thousands of kidney
transplants have taken place. Techniques for trans-
planting kidneys and corneas are currently the most
advanced, but progress is also being made in over-
coming transplantation problems connected with the
liver, pancreas, heart, bone and other tissue.
HOW ARE ORGANS FOR
TRANSPLANTATION OBTAINED?
They are donated by individuals like yourself,
with the donation going into effect at the time of
death..
IS THEBE A NEED FOR ORGAN.DONORS?
, Yes. Thousands of lives every year are lost
because there aren't enogh donors of kidneys or other
organs. A donated organ, successfully transplanted, is
literally the gift of life — your gift of life. \
HOW CAN I BECOME A DONOR?
Simply sign the attached card in the presence
of two witnesses who also sign. Then carry the card on
your person at all times.
__________——You-will —note that--the--gard offers several
options:
(a) indicates that you contribute any needed
organs or parts
(b) restricts the donation to the organs or parts .
you specify
(c) gives your entire body for anatomical study
wishes may now be carried out The Act specifies,
however, that the physician attending the dying person
should not participate either in the removal process
or, in transplantation. That’s the job of the hospital and
the transplant team.
WILL ORGAN DONATION AFFECT
FUNERAL AND BURIAL ARIUNGEMENT8?
No. Removal of organs or tissues authorized by
a donor will not interfere with customary funeral or
burial arrangements. These remain the responsibility
of relatives or persons in charge of the estate. If a
person wills his body to a medical center for anato-
mical study (line "c" on the donor card), arrangements
s must be made in advance with the particular medical
center. C
WILL MY ESTATE BE PAID OR
HAVE TO PAY FOR ORGAN DONATION?
No.
WHAT ARE THE ETHICS OF"ORGAN
DONATION AND TRANSPLANTATION?
Moral leaders the world over favor such dona-
tions as expressions of the highest humanitarian ideals.
The gift of an organ essential to the life of another
human being is consistent with principles of religious
and ethical systems overwhelmingly held. If you have
any . question in this regard, you should consult with
your religious loader.
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD? -
As the problem of organ rejection comes under
better control and as techniques for tissue-typing and
organ preservation are improved, kidney and other
transplants will become increasingly feasible. Thus,
thousands of people who might otherwise die will live.
