The organ and tissue donation process is unfamiliar to a lot of us. Some people may not even know they are registered donors.
Understanding the law and how it is implemented is important.
The first time many of us heard of choices about organ donation was at the DMV. More than 90% of individuals surveyed across the country stated that they registered their donation decision through their local DMV.
A pink dot on your license shows that you are an organ donor. That information is also forwarded to Donate Life California Registry.
Your Advanced Health Care Directive (AHCD) is another common way to designate you would like to, or chose not to, be an organ donor. Many of us have completed an AHCD as part of our will or trust.
