Organ donations can help save the lives of others. A person approaching end of life, if they haven’t already done so, can register as a donor with the BC Organ Donor Registry administered by BC Transplant. You can choose what organs and tissues to offer for donation. Or you can choose to donate any organs that are needed. You can also choose to donate for transplant, for research, or for educational purposes. | Organ donations can help save the lives of others.

You don’t have to be perfectly healthy to donate an organ. It’s the health of a certain organ that matters. Talk with your doctor or contact BC Transplant at [http://www.transplant.bc.ca/ www.transplant.bc.ca] if you have questions. | You don’t have to be perfectly healthy to donate an organ.
