Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Logan
had
a
coach
and
Mentor
who
was
a
registered
organ
donor
when
he
died
in
2017,
Logan
saw
how
that
Southwest
selfless
act
resulted
in
six
people's
lives
being
saved.
Logan
was
inspired
to
register
as
an
organ
donor
by
the
powerful
Act
of
generosity
of
his
mentor
and
Logan's
own
selfless
act
saved
six
other
guys.
A
His
parents
began
green
shirt
day
to
honor
their
son,
resulting
in
thousands
of
people
around
the
world
registering
for
organ
donation.
1.58
million
British
Colombians
have
registered
their
Oregon
donation
decision,
but
know
this.
You
are
more
likely
to
need
an
organ
transplant
than
to
become
a
donor,
as
the
circumstances
for
organs
to
be
donated
are
very
narrow.
Only
about
one
to
two
percent
of
deaths
in
hospital
occur
in
a
way
that
allows
for
organs
to
be
donated,
including
that
all
life-saving
efforts
have
been
taken,
and
there
is
certainty
that
the
person
will
not
survive.
A
Last
year,
159
deceased
donors
and
74
living
kidney
donors
provided
465
transplants,
25,
Hearts,
101
livers,
54,
lung
and
288
kidney
transplants.
My
brother
is
one
of
those
recipients.
A
man
who
was
at
end
stage
lung
disease
a
year
ago,
is
not
only
alive
but
reinvigorated
to
live
life
to
the
fullest.
It
is
difficult
to
describe
the
hardship
of
knowing
someone
died
in
order
for
you
to
live,
but
it
makes
the
Gratitude
of
this
gift
immeasurable,
be
inspired
and
take
two
minutes
to
register
as
an
organ
donor
visit.
