Show Notes

Lifebanc works closely with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to track statistics of individuals who sign up to be registered organ, eye, and tissue donors. We look at age, gender, location of those who have said "YES" to saving lives. We also track a disturbing trend of folks who said were registered donors at one time, but then opted out of the registry.

Learn from Gordon Bowen, Lifebanc CEO why the misconception of being too old or too sick is not true and medical advancements allow for even more people to give the gift of life on Episode 31 of Let's Talk About Life.
