In rare instances, specific medical terminology or colloquial phrases commonly used when referencing processes or procedures can inadvertently upset organ donors and transplant candidates. One notable example is the transplant community’s shift away from the term “organ harvesting” to “organ recovery” to describe the transfer of an organ from donor to recipient. This linguistic change occurred after patients and families shared that the phrase, “harvesting” felt dehumanizing and disrespectful to the generosity and dignity of donors.
