Cadaver donation means donation of organs for needy persons. Transplantation of Human Organs Act 1994, accepted 'brain death' as death. thus allowing relatives to pledge cadaver organs. A single cadaver donor can give 37 organs and tissues and thus a new lease of life to seven persons.
There are many unnatural deaths or 'brain deaths' where patients heart is functioning with other physiological function going on as usual, can be used as donors for cadaver organs. Such transplant which need live donor can also be done with 'brain death ' type of donor.
