\u00bfQu\u00e9 es el Registro?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

El Registro Donate Life Texas es el \u00fanico registro oficial de donantes de \u00f3rganos y tejidos del Estado de Texas.<\/p>\n

Al inscribirse usted manifiesta su consentimiento legal para la donaci\u00f3n de \u00f3rganos y tejidos despu\u00e9s de la muerte. Muchos consideran que la inscripci\u00f3n es una medida compasiva porque de esa manara la familia y los seres queridos no tienen que asumir el agobio de tomar la decisi\u00f3n durante un momento muy emotivo.<\/p>\n

Donate Life Texas es parte de la red de registros nacionales Donate Life America, la misma que es consultada por las organizaciones de rescate de \u00f3rganos y tejidos de Texas para confirmar el estatus del registro cuando una persona fallece.<\/p>\n

El Registro Donate Life Texas no<\/strong> cubre la donaci\u00f3n de \u00f3rganos o m\u00e9dulas \u00f3seas de personas vivas y tampoco sangre ni donaciones de cuerpo entero.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Busque aqu\u00ed<\/a> los recursos para esas opciones.<\/p>\n

\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es tan importante la donaci\u00f3n?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

En pocas palabras, la donaci\u00f3n permite trasplantes que salvan vidas.\u00a0 \u00a0Los \u00f3rganos y tejidos donados salvan vidas, restauran la visi\u00f3n y mejoran la movilidad en formas que los materiales y productos sint\u00e9ticos simplemente no pueden. Hasta que la viabilidad y la funci\u00f3n biol\u00f3gica a largo plazo de los \u00f3rganos, c\u00f3rneas y tejidos puedan ser duplicadas en un laboratorio, los trasplantes seguir\u00e1n dependiendo de los donantes.\"DLA<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00bfQui\u00e9n puede inscr\u00edbase?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Personas de cualquier edad, etnia, pa\u00eds de origen o estado de salud pueden registrar su decisi\u00f3n para salvar vidas. \u00a0No hay manera de saber si una persona puede fallecer y qu\u00e9 condiciones pueden existir en ese momento.<\/p>\n

\u00a1No se excluya a s\u00ed mismo!\u00a0\u00a0Si usted desea ser un donante, \u00a1Reg\u00edstrese!<\/p>\n

Averig\u00fce aqu\u00ed c\u00f3mo inscr\u00edbase<\/a>.<\/p>\n

La Historia del Registro<\/strong><\/h3>\n

El Registro Glenda Dawson Donate Life Texas fue creado por la Legislatura 79\u00aa de Texas en el a\u00f1o 2005 y permite a las personas registrar su consentimiento legal para donar \u00f3rganos y tejidos despu\u00e9s de la muerte. \u00a0Desde entonces, ciertas leyes han establecido acuerdos de colaboraci\u00f3n con el Departamento de Seguridad P\u00fablica de Texas (TxDPS) y el Departamento de Veh\u00edculos Motorizados de Texas (DMV) que permiten a las personas inscribirse en el registro de donantes al momento de solicitar o renovar su licencia de conducir, la tarjeta de identificaci\u00f3n o la matriculaci\u00f3n del veh\u00edculo.<\/p>\n

El Registro Donate Life Texas fue designado en honor a la\u00a0 Representante… Glenda Dawson.\u00a0\u00a0Elegida en el a\u00f1o 2002, Dawson prest\u00f3 sus servicios por dos per\u00edodos en la C\u00e1mara de Representantes de Texas, en representaci\u00f3n del Distrito 29.\u00a0Habiendo recibido un trasplante de ri\u00f1\u00f3n, Dawson fue una defensora apasionada de la donaci\u00f3n de \u00f3rganos.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Dawson falleci\u00f3 en septiembre de 2006, poco despu\u00e9s de haberse inaugurado el registro de donantes de \u00f3rganos y tejidos por el cual ella abog\u00f3. (por?)\u00a0 \u00a0Hoy en d\u00eda su legado vive a trav\u00e9s de las vidas que todos los d\u00edas tocan los \u00a0donantes registrados.<\/p>\n

En enero de 2016, the El Registro Donate Life Texas celebr\u00f3 su ocho-millon\u00e9sima inscripci\u00f3n.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Llegar a los 8 millones de inscripciones en tan s\u00f3lo 10 a\u00f1os significa que\u00a0 Donate Life Texas est\u00e1 entre los registros de donantes de m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido crecimiento del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

Hasta la fecha, 962 personas inscritas en Donate Life Texas se han convertido en donantes de \u00f3rganos, habiendo salvado literalmente miles de vidas.\u00a0\u00a0 Miles de otras personas tambi\u00e9n han donado tejidos y c\u00f3rneas.<\/p>\n

Donate Life Texas Inc., es una organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro que mantiene y opera el registro de donantes y est\u00e1 regida por una Junta de Directores compuesta por los Directores Generales de las tres organizaciones federales designadas para la adquisici\u00f3n de \u00f3rganos (OPO)<\/a> en Texas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
