What is a donor register?
A donor register is a database that maintains information about individuals who have voluntarily agreed to donate their organs, tissues, or blood upon their death or during medical emergencies. This register helps healthcare professionals quickly identify available donors and facilitate the transplantation process. It also aims to increase awareness about organ donation and encourage more people to consider becoming donors. In many countries, individuals can register online or through designated organizations.

Anybody can register as an organ donor. However, if you are asking whether your organs would actually be considered for use upon your death (assuming you died in a suitable way), there is nothing to rule you out from becoming an organ donor, so longs as your organs are still functioning and you do not have any significant medical problems (e.g any form of hepatitis, vCJD, HIV etc...)
How many people in the UK has a organ donor card?
Impossible to answer. Currently, organ donors don't have to register with any central database - they simply need to complete a small card, and carry it with them at all times. There are plans to change the system so people 'opt out' by carrying a suitably-worded card - That way, the number of organs available will be much higher - since 'implied consent' can be used by medical staff to take organs from terminally ill people. (Although the wishes of the next of kin will always be sought)

How many times can an organ be transplanted?
Usually organs are just transplanted the once, since transplanting them again would increase the chances of organ failure for the next person to get it (particularly if it were a heart). Also, for an organ such as the kidneys, if they are transplanted once they will also be subjected to having to filter out many immunosuppressants and other drugs that the patient is required to take. Over time this does diminish their function, making them unsuitable for retransplantation.

Its for science homework Why dont some people like organ donations?
There are a few different reasons that I know of. Some people are just uncomfortable with the idea their organs being taken out of their body, even though they are no longer alive.

I can't promise you it's true, and it may be just a rumor (I like to think it is).
