FUNERAL DIRECIOR<br />
ORGAN DONATIONS<br />
Thanks to the miracles of<br />
modern medical science,<br />
healthy organs from the<br />
body of a deceased person<br />
can be successfully transinnted<br />
to help restore the<br />
ealth of a living person<br />
These commonly include<br />
kidneys, corneas, hearts,<br />
livers, <strong>and</strong> skin<br />
The declsion to make<br />
such a donation is, of<br />
course, a personal one. It<br />
might be well to add, however,<br />
that virtually all religions<br />
in the United States<br />
have no restrictions in<br />
regard to the donation o1<br />
organS lo help another pa.<br />
tient regain his or her<br />
health.<br />
One should also keep in<br />
mind that the donation of<br />
an organ in no way modities<br />
one's funeral arrangemeats.<br />
The removal of the<br />
organ is carried out in an<br />
operating room by a team<br />
of surgecns <strong>and</strong> nurses <strong>for</strong><br />
transplantation to the recipient<br />
Then, after a brief<br />
st-mortem, the body can<br />
transferred to the<br />
funeral home <strong>and</strong> the decedent's<br />
wishes carried out<br />
as specified <strong>and</strong> desired.<br />
