I've been thinking more about organ donation this week because Rexie lost her son in an accident. While they couldn't donate all his organs, Rexie made sure his family donated the ones they could.
So many things are done now for organ donation that were not even possible a few years ago. Today the HOPE Act was signed into law (HIV Organ Policy Equity), so research can begin so HIV positive patients can receive viable organs from other HIV patients.
Hep C patients can also receive organs from Hep C positive donors as UC Davis advises patients in this article.
Don't wait. Let your family know that you want to donate. Give the gift of life.
