3. DON’T LET THESE MYTHS CONFUSE YOU
For decades, myths and superstitions have
held people back from pledging their
organs. Don’t let misinformation stop you
from saving lives. To help, we’ve busted
some of the most common misconceptions
floating around with regards to organ
donation.

4. 1. The identity of the donor remains
confidential until requested otherwise by the
donor/donor’s family.
5. 2. Whether or not one can donate is determined after a thorough
medical screening. A myriad of medical examinations are conducted
to ensure that the donor’s organs are fit to be transplanted, and that
the donor is a match. There are very few medical conditions that will
automatically disqualify one from donating organs and tissues. It may
also come to light that one may not be able to donate all organs –
some may be fit for transplant, while others not so much.
6. 3. Age, sex, caste, creed, religion are no bar to organ
donation. The health of the organs at the time of
donation is what determines whether one can donate
or not.
7. 4. Only organs that you want to donate will be
harvested. It is pertinent for family members to know
the details, as the final call will be theirs. Nothing will
be done without their consent.
8. 5. A single incision is made through which organs
are retrieved, after which the body is cleaned,
stitched up and respectfully handed back to the
family.
9. 6. Brain death is not coma. Coma is a state of deep
unconsciousness; there is activity in the brain. In a
coma, the person can breathe normally without the
help of a ventilator. The brain has capacity to heal. If
one is declared brain dead, then there is no scope of
recovery.
10. 7. It is pertinent that family members know and agree
with the individual’s decision to donate. The
individual’s decision can be reversed by the family
when the time comes. The final decision to donate
rests with them.
11. 8. Even if an individual has not pledged to donate
organs, when the time comes family members can opt
to donate. However, registering to donate makes the
individual’s wish clear.
12. 9. Less than 5% of the people awaiting
transplant have destroyed their organ through
substance abuse. They must quit before they
can be listed for transplant.
13. 10. From the time the family agrees to
donate, they don’t have to pay for
anything.
