  1. Age is not a barrier for organ donation. Even people above the age of 80 have become organ and tissue donors.
  2. There is no requirement to be in perfect health for donation. Even those who smoke, drink or don’t have a healthy diet can still donate.
  3. Organ and tissue donation do not disfigure the body in any way.
  4. In case of an accident, the doctor will always try to save the life of the victim first. Organ donation is considered as an option only when the person dies due to certain circumstances.
