How can you donate organs?

• A. Through Gift of Life Network
• B. By private sale to a hospital
• C. Only after death is certified
• D. Only if you are a registered donor

Answer: (A)

Donating organs is coordinated through organ procurement organizations that handle the process from consent and medical suitability to retrieval and distribution to transplant centers. Gift of Life Network is an example of such an organization, which works to connect potential donors with recipients and ensure the donation happens ethically and legally.

Private sale to a hospital isn’t allowed and isn’t how donation happens. Donation can occur in more than one scenario: people can donate after death, and there are also living donors who give organs or parts of organs. Being a registered donor can help, but it isn’t strictly required—families can authorize donation if the person wasn’t registered, and living donation is possible even without registry status.
