organ donors
Lifesaving gift providers
Organ donors are people who give organs or tissue for transplantation into others.
Living donors may give a kidney or part of a liver; deceased donors can provide hearts, lungs, corneas, and more.
Someone becomes a donor by registering intent or through family consent after death: She signed up to be an organ donor when she renewed her license.
