Title: Organ Donation – the life saver.
Topic: Most of the times people face challenges with their body organs and yet most of us die with our organs which can be used to save a life.
Purpose statement: to persuade the Red Cross club members in becoming organ donors and to act upon their decision to donate.
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Attention Getter: What is the feeling of having to wait long for something that you really need? How do you feel when it’s something you can’t do without? Many years back, one of my best friends in primary school was diagnosed with a kidney failure. He was around seven years when the wait for a new kidney began. Two years later, he had been called thrice informing him that there was still no match for him. Fortunately for him, a young adult involved in a bad accident agreed to donate his organs after death. His kidney was the match that my friend needed. Similarly, most people would want to be able to say that they have saved a life? What other selfless way than becoming an organ donor?
B. Tie to the audience: You never know whether one of the people on the waiting list would be you or somebody you know.
C. Thesis statement: There is a growing need for organ donors and it is becoming a donor after death is a lifesaving decision.
D. Thesis and Preview: I’d like to talk to you about the need for organ donors, how to become one after death and how it benefits both your family and the organ recipients. However, there are numerous stigmas associated with organ donation but most of them are false and as a result of lack of proper information about organ donation. Therefore I will also talk about the arguments against donations.
(I’ll begin by informing you about the dire need for organ donors.)
II. BODY
A. Everywhere in the world, there is need for body transplants which require our help.
1. The main problem is that there is huge lack of organs and organ donors.
a. The need is for organs and tissues
