Organ Donation Controversy

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.
