Can I be an organ donor if I have Hepatitis C?

I would like to donate my organs after I die, but don't know if they would be usable since I was diagnosed with Hep C.

There are plenty of people on the transplant waiting list that have Hep C and would be willing to accept an organ from a donor that had Hep C.

Don't count yourself out. If you want to be a donor, sign up and let the doctors decide if your organs are viable and useful to someone who needs a life-saving transplant.

hmm...I dont think so. my parents have Hepatitis C and because the illness attacks your liver I think is not a good idea. It might pass it to the next person.

My cousin died from the same illness and most of his organs were distroyed in the process.
