New York Donate Life Registry |
|
In 1999, the New York Life
Pass It On Registry was established to record an
individual's intention to be an organ and tissue donor.
As an "intent" registry, permission from the
individual's next of kin was required for donation to
proceed in the event of the prospective donor's death.
To allow an individual to direct donation and remove the
need to obtain permission of the next of kin, the New
York Donate Life Registry was established in 2006 as a
registry that records an individual's own legal consent
to organ, tissue and eye donation upon their death.
