Out of more than 480 shark species, only three are responsible for a double-digit number of fatal, unprovoked attacks on humans: the great white, tiger, and bull; however, the oceanic whitetip has probably killed many more castaways, not recorded in the statistics.
People of all ages may be able to become an organ, eye and tissue donor. Your medical condition at the time of death will decide what organs and tissues can be donated and/or used. Do not rule yourself out.
Most livers that are transplanted come from organ donors shortly after they die. Organ donors are usually adults or children who have become critically ill (often due to an accident). If the donor is an adult, he or she may have agreed to be an organ donor. Parents or spouses can also agree to donate a relative's organs. When an organ is received from a deceased donor, it is called a âdeceased donorâ transplant. A child receiving a transplant may get either a whole liver or a piece (segment) of a liver.
