You have the power to donate... LIFE! Who can be a donor?
Anyone of sound mind age 18 or older may decide to be an organ and tissue donor. Parents and guardians must consent to that decision by anyone between the ages of 16 and 18, and must also make that decision for other minor donors. How to become a potential donor? Any adult may complete and have properly witnessed an organ and tissue donor card and/or ask that the "Organ Donor" designation be placed on a new or renewed Pennsylvania Driver's License or Photo ID Card at the Photo License Center. All three are considered legal documents for the purpose of organ and tissue donation.  ***** CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW***** Please visit the Gift of Life website at: www.donors1.orghttps://www.dot4.state.pa.us/od_services/odlogin.jsp#top?20090117170253855=20090117170253855http://www.donors1.orgshapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1
