In a deeply moving moment for Kerala, 10-month-old Aalin Sherin Abraham became the state’s youngest organ donor after a tragic accident. Despite their heartbreak, her parents chose to donate her organs through K-SOTTO, turning their loss into hope for others ..

Why to bring this topic.We all are selfish in one or other way trying to be aesthetic .But think of saving people beyond humanity instead of thinking about it.

When a patient has been pronounced brain-dead or medically dead, in order to donate organs, the cadaver (dead patient) will be placed on artificial life support (ALS). The patient will stay on ALS until all the appropriate steps or necessary authorisations have been completed to retrieve the organs. The deceased person’s organs could continue functioning for 36 to 72 hours after death with the provision of supportive measures such as ventilation, intravenous fluids and oxygen.

However, the following are the timelines that need to maintain to have a transplant based on the organ donated.

  • Kidneys: up to half an hour

  • Heart & Lungs: 4 - 6 hours

  • Intestine: 6 hours

  • Pancreas: 6 hours

  • Liver: 6–12 hours

and search for proper hospital after verifying the official details and then go ahead.Be helpful for someone.

Engaging question :- How many of us have ever thought about going through same after we pass away

It’s a powerful and selfless decision that can save many lives. More people should at least consider pledging their organs and discuss their wishes with family—one choice after death can create hope for several patients.

Yes. Organ donation should be encouraged by removing the myths surrounding it.

Organ donation needs to promoted at large. In india 80000 to 100000 people are waiting for organ implantation at anytime while there are very few donors. Waiting list goes on increasing each year.awareness is the key to manage this gap

A powerful reminder of how one decision can transform multiple lives. Organ donation goes beyond medicine—it reflects compassion, generosity, and hope. Increasing awareness and encouraging conversations about organ donation can help more people make informed choices in the future.

Nice post. I have pledged my eyes.
But reality is many are pertubed, regarding the procedure of post mortem. Indian cultures in some parts wont accept this procedure for the deceased.
