organ donor
An organ donor is a person who agrees to donate their organs or tissues after death to help save or improve the lives of others. When someone is registered as an organ donor, their healthy organs—such as the heart, kidneys, liver, or lungs—can be transplanted into patients with failing organs. Donation can also include tissues like corneas or skin. Organ donation is an altruistic act that provides a second chance for those suffering from severe health conditions, and it is coordinated through medical and legal systems to ensure ethical and respectful handling.
