The Cuts for Kindness ceremony has been a huge success. Fifteen volunteers from our school graciously donated their hair to make wigs for cancer patients.

    Personal Narrative: Volunteering As A Young Life Leader

    Since my second semester at UT, I have devoted 15 hours a week to volunteering as a Young Life leader.

Volunteering as a Young Life leader has taught me invaluable lessons in building relationships, caring for others, and working with a team that will help me to be a more supportive and productive physician…

    Strictly Altruism In Organ Donations

    The Effects of Strictly Altruism in Organ Donations Having the know-how and capabilities of transplanting an organ is an incredible medical breakthrough. The first successful kidney transplant was conducted in 1954, since then surgeons have learned how to successfully transplant almost every organ in the human body (Clemmons, 2009). People are able to add years to their life now because the medical field is able to conduct such remarkable procedures. However, in order for a patient to receive a healthy organ they must be matched with a compatible donor who is willing to donate their organ in an altruistic manner. The United States passed a law in 1984 called the National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA) which prohibits the purchasing of human organs.…

    An Analysis Of Barbara Ascher's On Compassion

    On Compassion What is one of the biggest factors that contributes to so many of today’s social issues? It is the lack of understanding and care for others, known as compassion. In Barbara Ascher’s, “On Compassion”, she uses multiple examples of instances that the true intention behind the actions were unclear on if they were from a place of compassion or not.
