Get StartedOrgan donations are often referred to as "anatomical gifts". All fifty states have passed some version of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, generally providing that you may make a gift of your organs and tissues during your lifetime with the gift to take effect on your death. Additionally, family members may generally donate your organs and tissues after your death if there is no indication you were opposed to such a donation. It is therefore important for you to document your wishes concerning organ donation.OptionsConsistent with the latest version of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, this program provides you the opportunity to: of organs and tissues to take effect on death, amend or revoke a prior organ donation, or document the refusal to make an organ donation.

Yes a Donation is the same thing as a gift
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 are made up of many tissues. Tissues are a building block of organs. For example: Tissues are to organs as bricks are to houses.
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.
Universal donation refers to a system where individuals can donate organs or tissues for transplantation to anyone in need, regardless of factors like nationality or citizenship. It aims to increase the supply of organs available for transplantation and save more lives.
