What is the First Person Consent Law?
First person consent makes the donor’s wishes the priority and authorizes the recovery of eyes, organs and tissue for transplantation, therapy, research and education after death. Upon every hospital death, the organ procurement organization is notified. Having your name on the Donor Registry can help ensure that the decision to become a donor is carried out. Discussing donation with your family will help in the process, as they will be consulted at the time of donation.
