Declaration of My Intent Regarding
Organ/Tissue Donation Upon Death

Recognizing the persuasion that may be exercised on my agent, or other relatives, if I am deemed to be a candidate for organ/tissue donation, I, ________________________________, want to declare here my intent regarding organ/tissue donation upon my death.  (Initial your selection.)

____ I refuse to make an anatomical gift of any organ or tissue under any circumstances.

____ I refuse to make an anatomical gift of any vascularized organ (vital organ).  I do not want any vascularized organ (vital organ) taken for transplantation or for any other purpose.  My agent, appointed by this DPAHC, may make all other decisions regarding anatomical gifts after my agent is certain that I am dead.  (This option is recommended if you do not consider brain death to be a reliable determination of death.  More information on this issue is available from Illinois Right to Life Committee.)

____ I authorize an anatomical gift of any organ or tissue, but at the discretion of my agent, as appointed by this DPAHC.

____ I authorize an anatomical gift of only the following organs or tissue: __________________

_____________________________________________________________________________, but at the discretion of my agent, as appointed by this DPAHC.

____ I authorize an anatomical gift of any organ or tissue based on my irrevocable intent.  (This option is consistent with registration in the Organ/Tissue Donor Registry – offered to you each time you renew your driver’s license.)
