​Request

How many organs (body parts) were harvested from donors living in Jersey during the period January 2013 and January 2015.

And how many bodies were donated to medical science during the same period.

Response

Altruistic organ donations from living donors: 9

Organ donations after death: 15

No bodies were donated to medical science.

From time to time, individuals make an advance directive through organisations such as the Parkinson's Disease Society / Alzheimer's Disease Society to donate their brain for research, but for this time frame none were donated.
