This is Isabell Lindell Warensce posing for organ donation by wearing the RECYCLE ME LIFE silver liver! In the photo is also her daughter Lou, almost 5 months old, so cute! Thank you Isabell for participating in the RECYCLE ME movement for organ donation!
Isabell is a wife and a mother, when she is not on maternity leave she works as a social worker in an acute home for families and children ages 1-12.
The human liver is incredible with the ability to regenerate and regrow to full size after donating a small part of the giver´s liver!
“Weighing in at around 3 pounds, the liver is the body’s second largest
organ; only the skin is larger and heavier. The liver performs many
essential functions related to digestion, metabolism, immunity, and the
storage of nutrients within the body. These functions make the liver a
vital organ without which the tissues of the body would quickly die from
lack of energy and nutrients. Fortunately, the liver has an incredible
capacity for regeneration of dead or damaged tissues; it is capable of
growing as quickly as a cancerous tumor to restore its normal size and
function.” Text from http://www.innerbody.com/image_digeov/card10-new2.html
While views of organ donation are positive there is a large gap between the numbers of registered donors compared to those awaiting organ donations on a global level.
So remember; make your wishes known, your decision can save lives!
