organ donor registries

Organ donor registries are official lists where individuals can sign up to donate their organs after death. When someone registers, it indicates their wish to help others through organ and tissue donation, which can save or improve lives. These registries are used by medical professionals to quickly identify donors in case of untimely death, ensuring that willing donors are honored. Participation is voluntary and can often be updated or revoked at any time. Registering helps streamline the donation process, making it more likely that organs will be available to those in need, often saving multiple lives.
