STATISTICALLY, you are more likely to need a transplant than become a donor.

A donor can give a heart, lungs, two kidneys, pancreas, liver and small bowel and can restore the sight of two people by donating their corneas. They can also give bone and tissues such as skin, heart valves and tendons.

Most organ donations come from people who have died while on a ventilator in a hospital intensive care unit. Organs, particularly hearts and lungs, deteriorate very quickly without an oxygen supply, but the ventilator is able to keep blood and oxygen circulating after death.

Traditionally, organ donors have come from two groups – road accidents and brain haemorrhage patients. Improved road safety and med- ical intervention mean fewer people are dying in these situations.
