The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act allows the donation of organs at no cost to the donor or the donor's family. The same is true for tissue donors.
The National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA) of 1984 prohibits the sale of organs but allows for the altruistic donation of organs without cost to the donor. This law helps to ensure that organ donation remains a voluntary and life-saving act, rather than a commercial transaction.
Organs from cadaveric donors come from people who have recently died and have willed their organs before death by signing an organ donor card, or are brain-dead. The donor's family must give permission
An organ donor card is a card given to you when you register with the organ donation register. The card represents your desire to have your organs used for transplantation after your death.
The answer is obvious. Many of the organs transplanted are organs that people cannot live without. These organs are transplanted from people who have passed on and left it their will to transplant certain organs from their body.
I think you may be talking about income tax deductions, possibly. These actually aren't "without cost to the donor', since the deduction applies to income, not the amount of tax due. It does mean that giving a charity $100 may only "cost" the donor $80 or so in the long run, since otherwise the donor would have been required to pay taxes on the $100.
Typically, the tissues and organs included in a donor program are heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, intestines, corneas, skin, bone, tendons, cartilage, and heart valves. Each donor program may have specific guidelines on which tissues and organs are accepted for donation.
The list of living donor organs is shorter because not all organs can be donated while the donor is alive, due to the complexity of the organ and the impact on the donor's health. The most commonly donated organs from living donors are the kidney and liver, as they are organs that a person can live without or regenerate. Other organs, such as the heart or lungs, are not commonly donated from living donors due to the high risk involved.
A donor :)
No, the body of an organ donor is not filled with sawdust. When organs are removed for donation, the body is carefully treated with respect and returned to the family for burial or cremation in a respectful manner. Sawdust is not used in the donation process.

One can get involved in kidney donation by becoming an organ donor. One must register in his or her state to become an organ donor at a local DMV or online.
No harm comes to a blood donor during or after donation. Donated blood is replaced relatively quickly by the donor.
