Today I will begin by saying " Happy New Year " to my wonderful followers.
On this first post of 2018 is to bring awareness, education, and myth busting about Organ Donation.
As December 15, 2017 Donè Vìda ( Donate Life America) a nonprofit federally-designated organization in charge of the recovery of organs, eye and tissue for transplantation, statistics say that there are 115,757 people on the waiting list for organ transplant in the United States. Just alone in the Washington, D.C area there are 2,203 people waiting for a life saving organ transplant. As you can see there is an extreme need for organ donation.
Unfortunately, many people doesn't know how important it is to register as a donor. Generally, donors are people who die suddenly and unexpectedly. Therefore, their families are faced with making the decision in a moment of pain and sadness.
If you are inspired to register as a Organ Donor but still skeptical about donating your organs, here are the most commonly asked question.
First question
If I have a heart on my driver's license, the doctors will not try to save my life?

happen after death and medical professionals will determinate if someone can be
an organ donor.
