How Do You Become An Organ Donor In The UK?
• Decide why you want to become a donor. • Most people who become donors want to “make a difference to someone’s quality of life”. • Bereaved parents of a child that has died suddenly may draw some comfort from knowing that their child’s death has saved the life of someone else. • Also – some people come to the conclusion that – if they are willing to accept donated organs – then they too should offer theirs. Register. UK residents age 18+ can register as a donor on the “NHS Organ Donor Registry”. Parents can register their underaged children. And if you are living in Scotland, you can register yourself without parental permission when you reach age 12.
