Second Chances

Background

Donate Life California was the organisation responsible for managing the organ, eye and tissue donor registry in California. In 2006, organ donation was transformed when Donate Life partnered with the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). When applying for a driving licence, if applicants ticked the YES box for organ donation, their licenses were sent back to them with a pink dot. The pink dot replaced donor cards and stickers and indicated that the holder was a registered donor.
