pediatric organ donor
A pediatric organ donor is a child who has passed away and has agreed (through legal consent) to donate their organs—such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, or pancreas—to save or improve the lives of other children or adults in need. Organ donation is carefully managed by medical professionals to ensure the process is respectful and ethical. When a child's organs are donated, they can help multiple recipients, giving them a chance at better health or recovery, and providing comfort to the family by knowing their child's legacy helps others.
