Organ Donors and Human Tissues Saves Lives

Even though the New Jersey based human tissue collection agency forged and unlawfully confiscated body parts, non-profit organ procurement organizations urge the public to continue to donate organs which are necessary for life-saving transplants. Currently, more than 90,000 people await a life-saving organ transplant nationally and at least 6,500 a year die waiting for an organ that never comes. If one person says yes to organ and tissue donation, this one person has the opportunity to save or enhance more than 50 lives. (Morning Call)
