Donated organs, eyes and tissues may be used for two purposes: transplantation and medical research, education and therapy. The Donate Life Maryland registry allows you to opt out of donating organs and/or tissues for research. During the sign up process, check off the “Donation Limitations” box and check the “For Research” box under organs, eyes and tissues. If you have already signed up online or via the MVA, you may go to the registry website, click on Update My Info, enter your login information, then specify donation limitations. While updating your profile you may also change your password and personal information or remove your name from the Donate Life Maryland registry.
