To become an organ donor you must be 18 years old and register as an Organ Donor and get your card. When you register it is important that you tell those closest to you about your decision. Even iI your name is on the register, the person closest to you in liIe will be asked to conIirm that you had not changed your mind. Putting your name on the register demonstrates your consent to the use oI your organs Ior transplantation. Also you have to be very careful with tattoos and piercings. And Iinally, live to the fullest, be as happy as you can. And going back to our liver transplantation topic, remember one thing, nobody is Iree oI being in need oI a transplant, that's why we must work hard now so that when the time comes, there is always an available organ Ior anybody who needs it. Be conscious that you have to say yes to organ donation, with this we will save the lives oI many people in the Iuture!
