Cadaver?

Have you ever heard this word before ? Am sure most of us don't know what it means.
Well , a dictionary meaning would be dead body but medically a cadaver can give back life to so many people .it's just that we are not aware and even the government has not created much awareness on the same .

I was curious to know more and read a little bit .On reading i understood that a cadaver body can actually give back so many people a healthy life .All of us generally think that only our eyes can be donated .But the heart, eyes ,liver, kidney
and even skin can be donated to another person to save their lives .If we had a proper organ donation policy in place , am sure there can be many more lives that could be saved today .For the number of road accident death that happen - we can save nearly about a 1000 lives everyday (in India alone).Just that none of us is very much aware of this program .Also the less awareness , the more reactive we will
become when we are in that situation when we have lost someone as that moment , we would not be able to think of offering a closed one's body for an organ donation.
But if we understood in depth of how a heart transplant or a kidney transplant can entirely change someone's life,we may come forward to do so .

Hope cadaver organ donation becomes a much more known topic to everyone soon.
Am doing my bit by blogging about it right now :-)

Also professionaly i have some plans on the same .Crossing my fingers that it should take off well and get implemented as i have it on my mind .

Once am successful in enrolling myself for an organ donation program - i shall blog about that too !
