[Peace-discuss] Important info about new Illinois organ/tissue donor registry

[John W.]

While not directly relevant, I thought this was important enough to pass on 
to several of the mailing lists I'm on.  Please feel free to circulate widely.

This info, and signup for the new registry, can be found at 
www.LifeGoesOn.com , which is apparently one of Jesse White's web sites.

new<https://www.ilsos.gov/organdonorregister/> First-Person Consent 
Organ/Tissue Donor Registry!
    * A new law, effective Jan. 1, 2006, created a new Organ/Tissue Donor 
Registry making a person's wishes to be a donor legally binding. Additional 
witnesses or family consent is no longer required for donation to occur.
    * If you are listed in the old registry, family consent is still 
required for donation to occur. To ensure that your decision to be an 
organ/tissue donor is honored, you must 
<https://www.ilsos.gov/organdonorregister/>join the new registry!

Sign Up for the New Organ/Tissue Donor Registry


The Organ/Tissue Donor Registry is a confidential computerized database 
that documents a person's wishes regarding donation. Information contained 
in the registry is only released to organ and tissue procurement personnel 
and medical examiners after all efforts to save a person's life have failed.

First-Person Consent makes your decision to be an organ/tissue donor 
legally binding. Additional witnesses or family consent is no longer 
required; your wishes will be honored.

You may join the New First-Person Consent Organ/Tissue Donor Registry by 
submitting the form below, by calling 1-800-210-2106 or by visiting your 
nearest 
<http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/drivers/facilities/home.html>Secretary 
of State facility.

(I didn't copy the registration form, which was immediately below.)
