Can my face or limbs be transplanted?

Sue Johnstone (Communications Manager) gives expert video advice on: How are transplants organised?; What organs can be transplanted?; Can I agree to donate some organs and not others? and more...

Face and limb transplants are very, very new. When you sign on to the organ donor register you are not signing the register and giving the wishes for those items to be used. This is a specialist thing. If you did want them to be used at the time of your death, the best thing to do is to make sure you tell your next of kin. But they will not be taken with you signing on to the organ donor register.
