What is one of the avenues for individuals to donate organs or tissues?

Signing a donor card and informing family is a recognized and effective way for individuals to express their wishes regarding organ and tissue donation. This method provides a clear, immediate indication of a person's desire to donate, making it easier for medical personnel and family members to honor that wish in the event of the person's passing. Additionally, informing family members ensures that loved ones are aware and can support the decision, reducing potential conflict during a difficult time.

The other options, such as establishing a trust or joining a health insurance program, do not relate directly to the process of organ donation. While including organ donation wishes in a will is possible, it may not facilitate immediate action at the time of death because a will is typically not read until after the funeral proceedings, which may delay the donation process. Therefore, the correct avenue for organ and tissue donation involves actively signing a donor card and communicating those wishes clearly to family members.
