Donneurs de sens – Season 2: 101 courses, episode 6

Human tissue donation

Did you know that you can still do one last selfless act even after you die? When you give human tissue, you can improve the quality of life for some 20 people on a transplant waitlist. Human tissue donation deserves to be better known, and many of you have asked questions to Héma-Québec’s teams or done your own research about it.

Frequently asked questions include: How can you consent to this type of donation? What types of tissue can you donate? Who can receive them? If you donate your tissue, can you still have a visitation at your funeral? To get answers to all these questions and more, listen to this podcast episode!

And to make it easier to donate your tissue when you die, let people know now! When you tell your loved ones beforehand, it’ll be easier for them to confirm your wishes when the time comes.

In this sixth episode of the series, hosts Camille Lemay and Henrio Grubissa chat with Sabrina Robichaud, head of the human tissue donation program!
