Organ donation is the act of giving tissues from your body, alive or dead, to be transplanted into another human being. With one person every 16 minutes added to the transplant waiting list, donating your organs could save many lives.

Each state has a different procedure to become an organ donor, so be sure to check your states laws. Also, make sure to tell a family member if you wish to donate your organs and put it in your My Wonderful Life book, because your family still has the right to override your wishes after you die.
