Common Myths & Misconceptions

When I register as an organ donor am I also registering as a living donor?

No! Registering as an organ donor means that you consent to donating your organs and tissue once you have died. This registration has nothing to do with living donation

Does my religion support organ and tissue donation?

Yes! Most religions support donation and consider it the greatest gift a person can give.

Can a transplant be “bought” by the wealthy and powerful?

No! Organs are computer matched according to compatibility of donor and recipient Organs Allocated Using 3 Criteria: ABO / Size Compatibility/ Tissue Typing Degree of Medical Urgency Waiting Time

Will it cost my family money for a loved one to be an organ or tissue donor?

No! There is never a charge to the family or estate of the donor for organ and tissue recovery. All associated recovery costs are paid by NJ Sharing Network.

Will the doctors and nurses save my life if they know I am an organ donor?

YES! The decision to be an organ donor will in no way affect the level of medical care for a sick or injured person. The team of doctors and nurses involved in treating the patient is not involved with the recovery/transplant team, which is called only after death has occurred.

Is there an age limit for donation?

There is no definitive age limit for organ donation. NJ Sharing Network has successfully procured organs from donors as young as a few days to adults in their 90s. If a patient has a normal functioning organ and is in good health, then organ donation can be an option.

If I donate my organs or tissue, will my family be able to hold a funeral service for me?

YES! Organ and tissue donation does not interfere with customary funeral plans, including those with an open casket viewing.
