Organ Donation & Transplantation: Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions Do you sell body parts? No, we maintain a database of potential organ donors. Donate-For-Life; who came up with that double entendre? Gordie Hayduk — A word-phrase open to two interpretations; DONATE for life or donate for LIFE. Both are appropriate. Free Transplant? Who pays for it? Yes, all pre- and post-operative transplant care for up to one year is paid by Donate-For-Life Foundation. See contractual specifications. From where are surgically-recovered organs resourced? Loving, caring and concerned individuals — lawfully deceased — some of whom have been offered a remuneration or tuition incentive. I need money — can I sell my organs before I die? No, that's against the law. Who's behind the funding? The government? Who? In the startup phase private investors; however, over the long-term, private funding absorbs the cost. Taxpayer funding is not utilized. I don't get it. I'm suspicious. What's the catch? It's free — there is no catch. The bioethicists are going to have a fit over your plan; what do you say to them? In 20 to 30 years they've had an 11% success with their plan. We want an opportunity to fill the 89% gap; to save thousands who die every year. It all sounds too good to be true — is it? No. Think Divine Intervention. As envisioned - final program may be subject to some modification. |
