ORGAN DONOR AWARENESS
THANKS TO MODERN medical techniques, many people can benefit
from the transplant of organs and tissues. A transplanted cornea, for
example, can give sight to a blind person. Liver, heart,
and lung transplants can save many lives, and new
transplant opportunities are being developed all
the time.
As a Presidential Good Turn, the Boy Scouts
of America set out in 1986 to educate Americans
about the importance of organ donation. To
learn more about how to become a donor and
how to educate others on the importance of donor
contributions, contact local donor organizations.
