How long organs can survive after death !

                           

Time waits for no one. – Folklore.

The time a person kicks the bucket and declared his/her soul has left its body, it's just a matter of hours the organ can survive on its own. 

A wise decision had to be taken by the loved ones of that person if they are willing to donate the organs.

A family with good learning of the impact of organ donation will take the decision right away as time is of the essence.

With this right decision, not just one but multiple lives can be saved by this act of kindness.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

• The trouble is, you think you have time. Jack Kornfield

With a quick and right decision, this process can be executed and it will reach the right recipient awaiting the organ based on the waiting list.

Time is a cruel thief to rob us of our former selves. We lose as much to life as we do to death. Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey
