Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has announced that funerals of brain-dead persons whose organs are donated will be conducted with State honours.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Stalin said Tamil Nadu continued to be a forerunner in saving the lives of hundreds of patients through organ donations.
This has been possible because of the selfless sacrifices of those who, amid their grief, come forward to donate the organs of their family members who are declared brain dead, he added.
