The
actual surgical procedures to procure (harvest or surgically
remove) donated organs, eyes, bones, skin, veins and tendons
take only a matter of hours.
The
few hours that donation requries aren't even noticed by
the family. Procurement agencies and funeral
directors work around the clock to ensure that donation
does not affect "regular" schedules; viewings
and funerals can take place within the normal few days after
the donor passes away.
