Organ Donation Consents By Religion

Organ Donation Consents by Religion in 2005

During 2005 in the Greater New York metropolitan area, there were 261 organ donors.

Click the link below for data that indicates the known religious affiliations of 204 of these organ donors. For the remaining 57 organ donors, their religious affiliations were not stated.

This data only represents the number of organ donors by religion, as stated. Given the large proportion of the "Unknown/Not Stated" category and the lack of information about religion from families that declined donation, specific inferences regarding a particular religion's affinity for organ donation cannot be made from this information.
