Donating Organs
Abstract
ORGAN DONATION is a subject of much attention; unfortunately, only few articles have been published about public attitudes toward organ donation. Nowadays, organ donations has become a very important procedure in cures and it helps many people to regain life. “The gift that has been given to me says much about our capacity for great compassion and generosity, and I hope it sends an inspiring message to others about the importance of organ donation" (Steven Cojocaru). It is an interesting topic and we should spread it as much as it is possible. In order to make this research, I attended several websites, read many articles so I can discuss and present this point.
Introduction
“We found that nearly 94% of the population had heard about organ transplantation, but only 19% of these people carried donor cards. The results indicated that people are somewhat more likely to donate the organs of a relative who had just died (53%) than they are to donate their own organs (50%)” (Diane L. Manninen, phd; W. Evans,phd). We can conclude that public still does not know the importance of organ donation. This means that there must be awareness between public about organ donation and how it can benefit both donors and recipients with their families. Organ donation is a surgical operation in which a damaged or failure organ in the human body is removed and replaced by a functioning one from a donor. The donated organ maybe from a living donor, deceased donor, or a donor site. An organ transplant can improve or save someone’s life. Many people are against donating the organs because they are afraid from the damage of their organs or they say that it is not allowed to donate in religion. In parallel some people encourage donating organs since it is a gift that gives another chance to live so what is the disincentive that excludes the patient to live a happy life. Donating organs is very important, it saves many lives that’s why we should promote organ
