Thank you for registering to be an organ, tissue and eye donor with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Comission
FWC is a state agency that manages fish and wildlife resources for their long-term well-being and the benefit of people. Organ donation is another way to aid in the well-being of the population of Florida. One organ donor can save 8 lives and heal 75 more through eye and tissue donation. The decision to donate does not interfere with medical care. All major religions support organ and tissue donation, viewing it as an act of love and generosity.
Before you sign up, please take a few minutes to make sure you understand what it means to be on the Registry:
- Becoming an organ, tissue and eye donor truly shares life with others. By putting your name on Florida’s organ, tissue and eye donor registry, you consent to having your organs, tissues and eyes made available for transplantation upon death.
- Examples of organs for life-saving transplants include heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys, lungs and small bowel.
- Examples of tissues that could save or enhance someone’s life include eyes, corneas, heart valves, bones and skin grafts.
- Organs and tissues not recovered for transplant may be recovered by the local organ, tissue or eye recovery programs for pre-approved medical research, therapy or education.
