Media Terminology Guide
We kindly request that media covering donation and transplantation stories consider using the following terminology out of respect to donor heroes and their loved ones and to describe the lifesaving donation and transplantation process most accurately.
- Organs, tissues and corneas are “recovered,” not “harvested,” “removed” or “taken.”
- An individual who is brain dead may be on “mechanical support” but not “life support.”
- Organ, tissue and cornea donors are “deceased donors” or “donor heroes” not “cadavers” or “cadaveric donors.”
- Brain death is death; it is permanent and irreversible. The individual is “clinically and legally deceased” not “in a coma,” and they cannot “wake up.”
- Patients waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant are placed on the “national transplant waiting list.”
- Indiana Donor Network is the state’s “organ recovery organization,” one of 58 similar nonprofit organizations nationwide. We are also an “accredited tissue bank.”
- Indiana Donor Network works with partners to facilitate “tissue transplants” not “tissue grafts.”
- Hospitals where donation takes place are “donor hospitals.” Hospitals where transplantation takes place are “transplantation centers.”
