Your name will then be placed on the Texas Donor Registry. You can give money as well, which should collect even more interest than your pancreas.

If you are under the age of 18, make sure you discuss organ and tissue donation with your parents or guardian first, as they will have to sign off on it for you. Hospitals can’t just go around accepting underage organs and tissue willy nilly; the donated parts might not have matured and could talk back or act out.
