FAQ
A transplant surgical team replaces the medical team that treated the patient before death. (The medical team trying to save the patient's life and the transplant team are never the same team.) The surgical team removes the organs and tissues from the donor's body in an operating room.
If you have registered as an organ donor and have changed your mind, you can ask to be removed from the list. Our research shows that a phone call to your closest geographic location is the best option. Most states prefer phone contact.
Can I remove myself from the registered donors list? Yes, you can change your donor status at any time. Look for an option such as "updating your status" on your state's site. If you have a donor designation on your driver's license, removing yourself from the registry will not change that.
Select 'Organ donor details' from the left side navigation menu. Choose from the options 'Change or View my donation decision' or 'Remove me from the Donor Register'. Complete the online form to request the change or removal. Review your donation decision and, if correct, select 'Submit' to finalise the request.
Medical aspects From a medical perspective, the act of returning an organ that has once been donated (hereafter, organ restitution) is not permissible if serious safety issues arise due to returning the organ. Accumulating cases have reported on the reuse of transplanted kidneys.

Over 700,000 transplants have occurred in the U.S. since 1988. Organs that can be donated after death are the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, pancreas and small intestines. Tissues include corneas, skin, veins, heart valves, tendons, ligaments and bones.
If you have registered that you don't want to donate any of your organs or tissue, this may not be overruled by anyone. If you have registered that you want to be a donor, your relatives may overrule this only if they have compelling reasons to do so.
