I agree to donate my organs for immediate transplant, not for research, provided it is done in accordance with Jewish law as dictated below:

I agree to donate my organs only after:

irreversible cessation of breathing, which is confirmed by brain-stem death. [Medically, this allows for donation of all organs. This criterion is the position of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel.]
irreversible cessation of heartbeat, provided that no invasive preparatory procedure is done prior to cessation of heart beat. [This option reduces the possibility of  being an organ donor and limits the number of organs that may be donated.]

Any and all preparations for transplant should begin after consultation with a family-appointed rabbi. Transplants may commence only after a medical team, who is independent of the attending physicians and who is unaware that I am a potential organ donor, determines death as I have dictated above. All medical procedures must be done with proper respect, and minimum damage, to the cadaver.

I understand that the HOD Society will share my donor information with domestic and international databases provided that my specific requests are accurately conveyed.

Please don’t forget to e-mail (to admin@hods.org) or mail a passport photo to the HOD Society as soon as possible. Picture is optional, but highly preferable.

Pictures and donations may be sent to
