Ad agency JWT, Shanghai has done an excellent job with these creative Red Cross China ads that encourage people to become [organ donors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we-give-blood).

Fully grown men and women are depicted as fetuses inside organs such as a heart, kidney, and lungs. The accompanying message is, "Donate an organ and give someone another chance to live."

I think the art direction by Alan Zhang is brilliant, especially with the medical X-Ray vibe of the images. It smartly shows how our organs can be used to give someone the [gift of life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-of-life), instead of going to waste.

The photography is by Jeff Hargrove with retouching by Peng Yam Lim.
