Lifegift Summary And Analysis

A continuing problem exists in trying to close the gap between the supply and demand of procured organs in the United States. An increase in the amount of transplant operations performed has risen significantly over time. As a result, a new name is added to the national waiting list every 16 minutes (Duan, Gibbons, & Meltzer, 2000). It is estimated that about 100,000 individuals are on the national transplant waiting list at all times (Munson, 2012). Something needs to be done before these numbers get completely out of control. Despite the introduction of Gift of Life and many other educational efforts, the United

During the length of the presentation, I think the main aspect the speaker pointed out is on issues of how few people wanting to become donors, which it resulted to an extremely long waiting list of critically-ill people hoping to be the next one to received an organ or tissue transplant. For that reason alone, many are dying every year waiting for organ transplant. For example, an 18 months old named April who died waiting for a heart valve donor that she did not had. On the other side, the speaker pointed out the 2 types of organ and tissue donors which are, donor after pronounced brain death and cardio-circulatory death. Additionally, she discussed the process involves in organ and tissue donation in a timely

The Glenda Dawson Donate Life Registry program potentially may or may not work. The number of patients that are in need for an organ transplant are growing. While the number of organ donors is substantially low, “most living donations are to family… (Britannica School,2010).” The Glenda Dawson Donate Life Registry educates and recruits people outside the family raising the number of organ donors throughout Texas. Thus achieving their goal in the organ donation field.

Beginning with the Mid-America Transplant, they work the organ and tissue donations. This organization is in place save lives, one organ donator can save up to eight lives, eight lives that can have a second chance at life. With tissue donations, it can save up to 50 to 100 individuals. There is a waiting list for people who are waiting for organ and tissue donations, in 2005 there was 80,000 people on that list and now there are over 120,000 individuals who need organs and/or tissue. Jonette told us that one person is added to that list every 15 minutes and one person dies every 10 minutes.

In the summer of 2016 (to present), I have been privileged enough to become acquainted with and intern for Mrs. Sigrid Frye-Revere, founder of the American Living Organ Donor Fund and the Center for Ethical Solutions. During this internship, I have been fortunate enough to interact with clients and access their records as they request for financial assistance for organ transplantations. Since then, I have been conducting research on medical journals and policies, working with clients

In the textbook, Invitation to the Life Span by Kathleen Stassen Berger contains a section on how children are discipline in different cultures. Berger provided sources from Micheal J. MacKenzie and his colleagues on how different gender, ethnicity, and age plays a role in spanking children. It is said that mothers tend to use this method more often than fathers and boys in African American homes tend to have a greater chance of being spanked. I learned that in order to study the development in diverse setting, people have to do background research and possible studies to see as to why people do certain things like spanking. It is also good to considered every possible factor that could play a part. For instance in this finding, it is good

Hi, my name is Casey, and I will tell you of the Extreme importance of becoming an Organ Donor.

Living donors can shorten the waiting list time for an organ transplant. A living donor is someone who can donate an organ without the loss of life. The most comman donation is Kidney and Bone marrow. Marrow transplants are the only hope for survival for many children and adults with leukemia, aplastic anemia, and other fatal blood diseases and cancers. Unfortunately, nearly 70 percent of these patients cannot find suitably matched marrow donors within their families. They need to find unrelated marrow donors - people who have volunteered to donate marrow if ever matched with any

If somebody wanted to donate something while they were alive, instead of waiting till they die, there are also some organs that can be donated while they are living. While living people can donate their kidney, part of their pancreas, part of a lung, part of a liver, part of the intestine, bone marrow, and blood (Organ and Tissue Donation). Most people who donate organs or tissues while they are alive donate the organ or tissue to a family member or friend, but there are some cases where they donate it to someone they don’t know. Some of the organs can regenerate themselves and some can’t. If somebody donates and organ while they are alive that doesn’t regenerate itself, they are still able to survive without it. For example somebody can donate a whole kidney and be okay, because they have another one and
