1
Donating Organs in Alberta
2
  • When preparing personal directives for clients,
    I always ask whether they are interested in being
    organ donors.

3
  • While not for everyone, being an organ donor
    means that you are willing to give a very special
    gift to someone you have never met.
  • You can be certain that this gift will either
    save a persons life or significantly improve a
    persons life. In some cases, a single donor can
    save or improve several lives at once.

4
  • A very positive development in recent months is
    the Alberta Governments creation on an organ and
    tissue donor registry. There are two ways that a
    person can register as an organ and tissue donor.

5
  • The first way is to indicate your preference to
    be a donor when you go to renew your drivers
    licence at an Alberta Registries office.
  • The second way to register is to Google
    something like Alberta organ donor registry.

6
  • Likely the first thing to come up will be the
    Alberta organ and tissue donation registry page.
    All youll need is your Alberta Health number.
    Once you have completed the online form a PDF
    documented will be generated.
  • You will then print this off, sign it with a
    witness (no need for notarization), and mail it
    in to the Alberta Health address listed on the
    document. Thats it. Thats all you have to do to
    save lives.

7
  • The online form asks some specific questions
    about your preferences. Probably the most common
    preference is to donate all available organs and
    tissues for the purposes of transplantation. Some
    people may wish to only donate certain organs or
    tissues, and you can indicate those preferences
    on the form.

8
  • Other people may even wish to donate their
    bodies for scientific research or to assist with
    the education of medical students. You can
    indicate those preferences as well.
