donor consent

Donor consent is the process of giving permission for someone to donate their organs, tissues, or biological materials after death. It ensures the individual agrees to donate, typically by registering or indicating their wishes during their lifetime. This consent is important because it respects personal choices and legal requirements, allowing healthcare providers to proceed with donation in accordance with the donor’s wishes. Clear consent helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that donations occur ethically and with respect for individual autonomy.
