Organ donation plays a crucial role in saving and improving lives. When someone donates organs after death, those organs can be transplanted into individuals who need them to survive or enhance their quality of life. 

Organ donation can help in various ways:

• 1. Saving Lives
• 2. Improving Quality of Life
• 3. Medical Research
• 4. Emotional Benefits

By choosing to donate organs, individuals can leave a lasting impact and give the *gift of life* to those in need.

However, there are certain criteria and restrictions when it comes to organ donation. Here are some key points:-

• 1. Age: In general, individuals of any age can consider organ donation. Even newborns and elderly individuals can donate organs. 
• 2. Medical History: While age is not a barrier, the donor’s medical history plays a significant role.However, each case is evaluated individually.
• 3. Cause of Death: The cause of death and the timing of organ retrieval are important factors in determining organ donation eligibility.
• 4. Consent: It’s essential for individuals to express their wish to be an organ donor by registering as a donor or informing their family about their decision.

So let’s together make a huge difference in someone’s lives by donating organs and making many lives more brighter and realistic to all those in need of it on this National Organ Donors Day.
