NonLiving Donors

Non-Living Donors are medical donors who have passed away and whose organs are used to help transplant patients. The organs are carefully harvested from individuals who are medically and legally authorized to donate and then surgically transplanted into the recipient. Non-Living Donors provide a critical source of organs that can be used to save the lives of transplant patients. Non-Living Donors have the potential to reduce the need for long-term dialysis, promote greater independence and improve quality of life. In addition to organs, Non-Living Donors can also provide tissues such as skin, cornea and bone. The use of Non-Living Donor organs and tissues has changed the lives of millions of people by providing them with a second chance at life.
