Overview

Non-living donors are individuals who provide organs and tissues for transplantation rather than living donors. This has become increasingly important as the demand for organ transplants continues to increase due to the growing population, and the number of available organs and tissues from deceased donors is not able to keep up with the demand. Non-living donor transplants allow for an ethical way to provide organs and tissues to individuals in need of a transplant. Non-living donors may be cadaveric or living donors who have chosen to donate certain organs and tissues after death. Examples of tissues and organs that may be donated include the corneas, heart valves, skin, bone, and tendons. Such donor organs and tissues can provide life-saving or life-enhancing treatments to individuals with serious illness or injury. As such, non-living donor transplantation is an important procedure that can help to save and improve the lives of many individuals.
