human tissue donation

Human tissue donation involves legally and ethically acquiring tissues—such as skin, corneas, bones, and heart valves—from deceased donors for transplantation or medical research. After death, specialized medical teams recover these tissues, ensuring proper preservation and testing to prevent disease transmission. Donated tissues can restore sight, improve mobility, or save lives by replacing damaged or diseased tissue in patients. It’s a voluntary act that can significantly benefit others, and individuals can choose to donate during life or after death, often by indicating this in their driver's license or wills.
