    Many people find organ donation a challenging topic to consider, a bit like talking about death. Possibly this is because at the time one or more people are receiving a donor’s kidney or heart, another family is undergoing a tragic loss. Organ donation is the act of donating an organ by a person so that it can be transplanted by surgical procedure in the body of the recipient. Organ donation can benefit many people from death or any other critical conditions. A person already dying can save someone's life by donating his or her organs.…

    While it is understandable that the topic of death makes people wary, being able to save someone’s life is something that everyone would be happy to do, even if it is accomplished posthumously. This is what the image is trying to appeal to: If one person has the possibility to donate up to 8 organs, that means that there is a chance that they will be able to save eight lives (Organ Donor Statistics). In some cases, such as kidney or liver transplants, the donor does not even need to be deceased, allowing them to share the gift of life rather than transferring it. One benefit that cannot be argued nor outright explained is the peace of mind one receives upon knowing that their body will be used to help others when it can no longer serve itself. This is what drives the people who are already registered donors, and what will drive people who wish to become…

    Organ donation is the process of one human being donating his or her organs to another human being in need. Which is very often since on average 22 people die every day while waiting for a transplant. With that being said every 10 minutes a patient is added to the waiting list. While on the waiting list there is no guarantee that the patient will receive a transplant. To top it off there is a 1:8 ratio with organ donation. That means mean one organ donor can save 8 lives. The book “Unwind” by Neal Shuterman explains organ donation in a very unique way. It all started with the “Heartland War” the two armies were fighting…

    Signing up to be an organ donor is one of the most generous things you can do — especially when you consider that a single donor can potentially save eight lives. That’s eight people who won’t have to spend agonizing months or years on the transplant waiting list, who will get a second chance, because you made the selfless decision to be a donor. More than 120,000 men, women and children currently need lifesaving organ transplants. Every 10 minutes another name is added to the national organ transplant waiting list. An average of 18 people die each day from the lack of available organs for transplant. In 2012, there were 14,013 Organ Donors resulting in 28,052 organ transplants. In 2012, more than 46,000 corneas were transplanted. More than 1…

    According to the National Health Service, there are two types of organ donations, living and deceased. Nobody realizes what the numbers are and how many there are suffering. “Currently, nearly 124,000 men, women and children are awaiting organ transplants in the United States.” (Organ 1) According to The U.S Department of Health and Human Services, a person is added to the list every ten minutes. 79 people every day are saved by organ donation.

    Organ Donor Persuasive

    • 2798 Words

    Organ donation is such a simple and selfless action one takes to save the lives of others. The pros of declaring oneself as a donor far outweigh the cons, for nearly 90% of Americans claim to support donation. Only 30%, however, know how to or actually become donors, according to Donate Life America; so, what steers people away? Many avoid declaring themselves as organ donors because there are many misconceptions to the process of organ donation. Some believe that a hospital staff will avoid focusing on saving a person’s life if he or she has agreed to become an organ donor, including the possibility that doctors may sign the death certificate before an organ donor is truly dead. Others fear that organ or tissue donors lose the option of having open-casket funerals. Many claim that the decision cannot be made until they are at least eighteen years old, or that organ recipients wouldn’t want organs from elderly or those with health conditions. Others believe that wealth or fame allow some people to receive organs before others who have been on the transplant waiting list longer (“Busting”). Although these situations are far from the truth, they prevent a large portion of people from declaring themselves as organ donors. As a result, there is an average of eighteen people dying every day while waiting for transplants that cannot take place due to organ donation shortage (“Understanding donation”). Understanding and educating oneself and others about organ donation is the first step in saving the lives of thousands.…

    There is a controversy in today's society that organ donation only benefits the wealthy people, but without organ donation not even the poor will have hope for the chance of life. Most people live their lives not knowing the importance of organ donation until they are faced with this dilemma. Healthcare is experiencing a shortage in organ donation and the people that need these organs is only growing (Meckler, 2007). As people with good ethical morals, people are obligated to take part in organ donation because people are in need of organs and tissues, donors give a gift of life, and donors are the ones that minimize the need of organs and tissues in the U.S.…
