Why Organ Donation Matters | A Transplant Surgeon's Plea | Prof. Dr. Tom Cherian | SALI

Описание: Every day in India, approximately 20 people die waiting for an organ transplant.
In this heartfelt message, Prof. Dr. Tom Cherian, a liver transplant surgeon with 850+ successful transplants, shares why organ donation is one of the most powerful gifts you can give.
As a transplant surgeon, he knows the reality: not everyone on the waiting list will survive long enough to receive an organ. But you can change that.
What You'll Learn:
✅ How many people die waiting for organs in India vs. the US
✅ Why organ donation saves lives
✅ What happens to organs if you don't donate
✅ Religious perspectives on organ donation (Hindu, Muslim, Christian)
✅ How to pledge your organs and make your wishes known
The Reality:

In the US: 13 people die daily on the transplant waiting list
In India: ~20 people die daily waiting for organs
Your organs can save up to 8 lives and enhance many more

Religious Perspective:
No religious text—not the Bhagavad Gita, Quran, or Bible—forbids organ donation. In fact, all encourage acts of compassion and saving lives.
How You Can Help:

Pledge your organs today
Register for organ donation
Talk to your family about your wishes

When you register, it becomes easier for your family to honor your decision and help save lives.
Don't let your organs go to waste. Nobody needs them to be burnt or buried. Someone waiting desperately needs them to live.
