A man is getting the gift of life, because a kind stranger offered him her kidney.
Here are the answers to some common questions and misconceptions about organ donation.
Did you know? 114,000 people are waiting for organ transplants. Almost 35,000 transplants took place last year, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates 20 people die each day waiting on the transplant list.
Did you know? Only three in every 1,000 people die in a way that makes them a viable organ donor. With so few live donors, the need for organs is massive.
Did you know? Having a medical condition doesn't mean you can't donate! It all depends on how your specific organ is doing.
Did you know? The oldest organ donor in the U.S. was 93 at the time. There's no age limit on organ donation.
Did you know? You can still have an open casket funeral for an organ donor. Doctors use care to preserve a body even while harvesting an organ.
Did you know? There's a misconception that people in the LGBT community cannot donate. It’s not true. Everyone is allowed by law to sign up.
You just might live on as a hero, who gave the greatest gift life.
