As most of us know that donating your organs at the time of your death is a great Social Service.It might give vision to the blind and might save somebody's life. There are many people who want to donate but are unaware of the procedure to follow,whom to approach and what to do?.If we can spread an awareness on the same and provide the necessary information it would be a great service to the society. I request you all to accumulate information on this and post it.
Good Thought and Good Start Lalith
This is a thing worth doing immediately. Please share idea and contacts freely.
Eye Donation
Deccan Herald, Bangalore, 06-Jan-2006
Lions International Eye Bank has received eyes from 986 donors, which have been used for corneal grafting. As many as 3,469 men and women have pledged their eyes to the bank. (This is for the whole year 2005)
Contact 22235005, 22121253 or 22121255 for more information.
==============
Is this number enough? Definitely not!
Do we have only 986 deaths in Bangalore, in one whole year, considering the population of Bangalore as 7Million?? Definitely NO...There will be, for sure, many deaths due to natural death or due to Accidents or due to some other cause. According to Bangalore Traffic Police information, in 2005, 831 persons were killed in 791 fatal accidents and 6,031 injured in 6,785 accidents (non fatal). Here, see the number of deaths due to accident...its 831 and this figure is almost competing with the number of donors!
Its definitely time to increase the donor number and this can be acheived thru YOU. YOU should be aware of the eye donation and spread this awareness to all your known friends/family...PLEDGE YOUR EYES NOW and DONATE the eyes of the deceased!
"Light up the darkness in life! Enable blind to see this beautiful world thru your Eyes"

Doubt?
After death is Eye Donation the only possible donation or can any other part of the body be donated?
The following can be donated and are in demand
Eyes, kidneys, liver, joints and bones, vascular tissue, heart and heart valves and skin
Shouldn't?
Shouldn't the body be fresh to be able to donate these?
Fresh???
We are rotting since the day we are born!!
But that aside, most of these can be taken in the few hours after your death without problem if your death is natural..
