Organ Donation
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is ... and I'm here to talk about organ donation. Romania was the last places in Europe to organ donation, only one donor per million inhabitants, compared to the European average of 20. Over 2,000 people waiting for a kidney transplant, 40 people waiting for a heart transplant, and 400 people a liver transplant.
Organ donation is an important and complex decision. On the pro side, donated organs save lives. Contrary, organ donation process is confused and misunderstood. A thorough understanding of the pros and cons of these procedures is essential for families and individuals who want to make informed choices. Organ donation includes 4 types: living donors, where they can donate kidneys and parts of vital organs such as the liver and pancreas, donation after brain death, donation after cardiac death, and whole body donation.
Unfortunately, the number of people needing a transplant continues to rise faster than the number of donors.
At European level, over 4000 candidates are added every month on the waiting list. Every day, there are about 77 transplants. However, about 18 people die each day waiting for transplants that can not take place due to lack of donated organs.
There are now more than 105,000 people on the waiting list for organ transplants. Experts suggest that each of us could save or help 8 people donating organs and tissues ..
Now you know that it takes people to save people. Perhaps you think why you do this.
Reasons against organ donation varies widely depending on the individual. For some, there are religious reasons against organ donation, while for others their family beliefs may contradict the intention to be a donor. In some religions, for example, may believe that organ donation could affect you in the afterlife. Also, if you have any hope of return in one way or another - and intend to freeze ala Walt Disney - when organ donation could stand in the way.
However, many of the arguments
