Do the donor family and recipient(s) meet?
They may choose to meet under very specific circumstances. The identity of all parties is kept confidential. The donor family and the transplant recipient may receive such information as age, sex, occupation and general location. Individually, the recipient may be told the circumstances of death, and the donor’s family may be informed of the transplants that were performed and receive feedback on how the health of the recipients has improved. If they want to meet, they may express this to the Transplant team. Only after both parties have waived confidentiality will any detailed personal information be revealed to either party.
