Most major religions in India, including Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, and Sikhism, support organ donation as a selfless act of saving lives.

Organ trafficking and illegal organ trade are criminal activities and strictly prohibited. Organ donation in India is regulated by laws that prioritize ethical and transparent processes to ensure fairness and prevent illegal activities.

Medical professionals are bound by a strict code of ethics that prioritizes saving lives. Being a registered organ donor does not impact the quality of medical care you receive in an emergency.

Organ donation procedures are respectful and do not interfere with traditional funeral rites. Organ retrieval is conducted with care, and the donor’s body is treated with respect and returned to the family for funeral arrangements.

Age alone does not disqualify someone from organ donation. Organs from older donors can still save lives. The suitability of organs for transplantation is determined by medical professionals on a case-by-case basis.

Registering as an organ donor is a straightforward process. You can often do it online or through your driver’s license office. It typically involves filling out a form and indicating your intent to donate.

Organ donation-related expenses are usually covered by the recipient’s medical insurance or government programs. Donors’ families are not financially burdened by the process.

Living organ donation, such as kidney or liver donation, is a common and life-saving practice. It allows individuals to donate a part of their organ to someone in need.
