Organs or tissues from one person (the donor) are put into another person’s body (the recipient). People of all ages and backgrounds should consider themselves likely donors.

Organ donation is the process of surgically removing an organ or tissue from one person (the organ donor) and placing it into another person (the recipient). Transplantation is necessary because the recipient’s organ has failed or has been damaged by disease or injury. Organ transplantation is one of the great advances in modern medicine. Unfortunately, the need for organ donors is much greater than the number of people who actually donate. Every day in the United States 17 people die waiting for an organ and more than 80,000 men, women, and children await life-saving organ transplants.
