INTRODUCTION

Organ donation is the donation of biological tissue or an organ of the human body from a dead or living person to a living recipient in order to save the life of the recipient. A living person can donate organ after natural death or after brain death. After natural death only few tissues only can be donated like cornea, bone, skin, blood vessels, were as after brain death almost 37 deferent body organs can be donated including critical organs2.

The laws of deferent countries allow potential donors to permit or refuse donation or give this choice to relatives. Thousands of lives are lost in India due to liver or heart failure. Since the transplantation of unpaired organs is either difficult or impossible, this is only possible on a large scale if these organs are available from cadaver donors.

The need for greater willingness to donate organs has been well-documented. Over 4,000 people die each year because a suitable donor cannot be found. Recent statistics indicate that over 71,000 people are on organ transplant waiting lists. At least half are expected to die waiting because the waiting list has been growing at three times the rate of the available supply of organs. Yet, this need could be eliminated if all people who are eligible were willing to donate. The single greatest obstacle to increasing the number of patients who receive life-saving transplants is the scarcity of available organ donations. The only way to increase organ donations is to educate the public about the importance of becoming an organ donor.

For any death where organ donation is a possibility and consent is given, there will be a medical assessment of what organs can be recovered2. There are no absolute age limits to organ donation. A handful of medical conditions will rule out organ donation, such as HIV-positive status, actively spreading cancer (except for primary brain tumors that have not spread beyond the brain stem), or certain severe, current infections. However, for most other diseases or chronic medical conditions, organ donation 9 SIGNATURE OF THE
