Persuasive Essay On Organ Transplants
SCIENCE!! From blowing up cakes for fun to using radiation to cure diseases, science delivers us solutions and explanations to our lives. One of the greatest advancements we have made and invested time and money into is the human anatomy. Human anatomy, if you did not already know, is the science of our human bodies, so yes, it’s about dissecting dead people and messing around with the insides of alive sleeping people (my definition of a surgeon.)

Everyone here today may be able to save people’s lives, if they so chose to donate their body to science. Ok, so that wraps up most of my speech for today. I have talked to all of you about the benefits of donating your body to science; it is beneficial to medical sciences in the future, providing more opportunities for research and education; it is cheaper to donate your body to science contested with having a proper burial and grave; and finally, you may also be able to donate your organs to those in need. With these in mind, I have high hopes that I have convinced you all to donate your body to
