Although more than half of the population declares their willingness to donate their organs, as many as 80 percent. Poles do not talk to their relatives about it. In a situation where a loved one passes away, we do not know what to answer the doctor’s question about the will of the deceased. That is why it is so important to talk and share our decision with your loved ones. Because this decision could save someone’s life.
Declaration of Objections and Declaration of Will
What should the declaration look like if we decide to become a donor in the future? In Poland it is valid the so-called “Presumed consent”. So, if we do not actively object, it means that we consent to the removal of organs after death.
The expression of objection consists in submitting the Statement of Objections to the Central Register of Objections. From that moment on, if organ donation is involved at all, in the event of death, it is checked whether such objection is included in the database. If so, this is where the download is complete.
However, if there is no such objection, it authorizes the donation of organs. Since the social acceptance of donating organs from deceased donors is very important, many social campaigns and campaigns encourage us to have a Declaration of Will with us, which is a confirmation of the willingness to donate organs after our sudden death.
Consent for organ donation
In order to make the society aware and educate that it is worth doing it, it is necessary to talk about it. That’s why social campaigns show transplant resultswhich are better from year to year. Therefore, the topic of organ donation should not be a taboo subject among our family. The closest ones should know what our position and will are.
The action of persuading people to make a declaration while still alive and informing their environment about it serves, among others, to release the closest family from the very difficult guessing what we thought about transplantology during our lifetime. Let us remember that the family is then under great stress and pain. If the family knows the answer, they are prepared for a difficult question that will surely be heard by the doctor after we die.
By consenting to organ donation after death, you can save someone’s life. It’s up to you to have the last word. Inform your loved ones about it.
