Author: In the UK 1 in 3 kidney donations are from a live donor. On average the kidney from a live donor can last twice as long as one from a deceased person. Also the living donor has had so many health checks to make sure they and the kidney are in best possible condition.
Giving the gift of life whether after you die or before is probably the best thing you will ever do for anyone.
Please at least make sure you sign the donor register AND equally as important tell your next of kin. Too many organs are lost because next of kin veto their loved ones wishes.
What if you needed a kidney or other organ one day? Would you accept one from a deceased person? Of course you would – so why not also offer one. One day it might be your loved one that needs an organ and if noone ever signed the register ….they would die.
Upon your death you can save up to 9 peoples lives and help many more.
What an amazing legacy to leave behind for your loved ones to get comfort from.
