Organ Donations Easier in Michigan

It is now easier for a person to elect to be an organ donor in Michigan.  According to John Gleason, New state law makes it easier to donate organs, Lansing St. J., Jan. 24, 2007:

A new law that took effect this month [January 2007] makes it easier to add your name to the national donor registry. This initiative * * * requires the Michigan Secretary of State’s Office to ask people applying for or renewing their driver’s license if they want to become organ donors. Interested participants are identified by a heart symbol on the front of their driver’s license and automatically entered into the national donor registry.
