Referencia de individuos a organizaciones de obtención de órganos

Explicación Simple

Si alguien está muy enfermo y está por morir, el hospital puede preguntar si esa persona quiere donar sus órganos. Si sí, se revisan sus registros para asegurarse de que todo esté bien antes de hacer la donación.

Es como cuando decides donar tu ropa vieja. Primero, revisas tu armario para ver qué tienes y asegurarte de que esté en buen estado antes de entregarlo.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está en el hospital y los médicos creen que no sobrevivirá. Ellos contactan a una organización que se encarga de la donación de órganos. Esa organización revisa si Juan había decidido donar sus órganos y verifica su estado de salud antes de proceder con la donación.
