The Tzu-Chi Foundation, a
respected Buddhist charity, has been advocating organ
donation and has established a bone-marrow donation center.
Interestingly, about half of the donations go to patients in
China. DOH has begun to consider allowing organ donors to be
identified as such on their National Health Insurance Card.
The decision by the parents of this little girl to donate her
organs resulted in some positive publicity for organ
donations, but was tempered when the mother refused to donate
the girl's corneas for fear she would not be able to "see the
way home."
