It would work well for people to look up credible sources about organ donation, so that they have the right information. Adults can take an informed decision about pledging their organs, and most importantly, tell their families about it. They must impress upon their family that in case of any eventuality, they would want an organ donation to be done. The volunteers and experts often cite that though organs are pledged, after death, the family refuses to honour that wish as it is a highly emotional, strained time and the team is forced to turn away. Creating awareness and highlighting correct information are crucial for dispelling wrong notions about organ donation.

It is time for religious leaders of different faiths to be roped into campaigns. Several times, doctors and those working in the space claim that a religious reason is brought up when denying the donation, even though the organ had been pledged. If respected senior religious leaders are part of the effort to disseminate and enlighten, this can bring about progress in the donation space. More power to this spirit and to those who believe in give and let live.
