What is Deh Daan?
Deh Daan means “donation of the body,” that is, to give one’s life for some good work. By donating a body, a person gives life to someone even after death. Not only this, he is a participant in crafting a doctor who, through years of medical service, saves millions of lives in the country and abroad. Awareness campaigns are also run about the importance of body donation.
Prince Sattva gave up his body to save the Savakas from dying of hunger.
Dadhichi had sacrificed his body so that a bow could be made from his bones to kill the demons. King Shivi offered his body to save the pigeon.
In many communities, there is a tradition of floating the body in the river so that food can be available to the various creatures living in the water. The Parsi community has a tradition of keeping the body in a “well” after death so that the birds can feed on it.
By the way, anyone can donate the body. For body donation, there is no discrimination based on religion, caste, gender, or economic status. And young children can also donate their bodies. But it also includes some medical conditions. Patients with cancer, heart disease, lupus, ALS, arthritis, stroke, and diabetes can also donate their bodies.
Because after donating the body, there is no possibility that any part of that donated body can be used inside another person, Only that body is used for study. In cases of suicide, an autopsy is necessary. Although the dead body has to be received by the medical college within three days, after the post-mortem, the body is not donated.
Organ Donation
Healthy organs and tissues are removed from one individual during organ donation and transplanted into another. According to experts, up to 50 individuals could be saved or helped by a single donor’s organs. You can donate the following organs:
- Internal organs: Liver, pancreas, intestines, lungs, kidneys, heart, and liver
- Skin
- Bone and marrow
- Cornea
Most organ and tissue transplants take place after the donor has passed away. However, some tissues and organs can be given away while the donor is still alive.
Organ donors can be of any age and come from any background. The consent of your parent or legal guardian is required if you are under the age of 18. If you are 18 years of age or older, you can sign a donor card to indicate that you desire to be a donor. You should communicate your wishes to your family as well.
Eye Donation
One of the main issues with public health in the nations is blindness. The World Health Organization lists corneal illnesses, which cause damage to the cornea, the tissue that covers the front of the eye, as one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness, along with cataract and glaucoma.
In the majority of situations, “Eye Donation” can restore vision. Various organs can be donated and surgically transplanted to those who require them after a person passes away. The eye is one of these organs. Through a surgical technique called corneal transplantation, in which the damaged cornea is replaced by a healthy cornea from the eye donor, a person who is corneal blind can regain their vision by giving eyeballs after death.
