Organ donation involves removing organs or tissues from a donor to transplant into a recipient. Donations can be made while alive or after death, with eligibility requirements and processes differing for each scenario. Myths about organ donation include misconceptions about religion and age, while promoting organ donation could save many lives, especially in regions with high organ failure rates like Pakistan.
