Organ Donation
Many people face an ethical decision to donate their loved one’s organs when they have passed on. These people have a difficult time making this decision. It is frightening to them to think that their loved ones heart, kidney and eyes will be removed from their body. Some of them find it hard to see them in the casket knowing that they are missing a part of themselves. This makes some people hesitant about allowing donation to take place. If everyone was a register organ donor, we could eliminate this pain by educating everyone on organ donation and how it could make a difference in a lot of people’s lives. This is why I believe everyone should be an organ donor. What is organ donation? Organ donation is done when someone has died and has given permission for their organs to be taken from their body and given to a person that has been waiting for a life saving transplant. Patients waiting on a heart, kidney or lung can receive this gift to better their life. According to Lifepoint when a person passes away they can donate up to 25 different organs and tissue (www.lifepoint-sc.org/facts_what.htm ). Transplantable organ includes the heart, kidney, liver, lungs, pancreas, and small intestines. Tissues that can be used are blood, blood vessels, bones, bone marrow, eyes and heart valves.

This list of people who are waiting for a life saving organ is increasing on a daily basis. Every ten minutes a new name is added to the transplant list, and up to twenty one people die a day waiting for a transplant. If this was someone you loved, you would want them to have every opportunity to get an organ transplant. This is why I feel that everyone should be an organ donor. This would allow a better chance for people to have a second chance of life and for people to become heroes who can save up to eight people with their decision to become an organ
