Persuasive Speech On Organ Donation

Since that time donation has been the only way to increase the current supply of transplantable organs. Some people are uncomfortable with the idea of organ donation due to misconceptions and lack of knowledge. In fact, organ transplant recipient Dr. Phil H. Berry, Jr. points out that there would be less deaths of people waiting for transplants, “if Americans would overcome their reluctance to become organ donors” (29). Organ donation whether it is upon your death or giving a part of a liver or one kidney while you are alive is a charitable gesture towards your fellow man and could give meaning to the end of your life. The mere act of donating could bring more peace to your loved ones at the time of your death and as a result, you could give

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

D. Thesis - Organ donation and Transplants are the most remarkable success stories in the history of medicine. They give hope to

Main Point 1: Organ donation is such a simple and selfless action one takes to save the lives of others. Now much of what we will we discuss, also applies to living donation, but we will focus on deceased donation. The number of patients waiting for organs far exceeds the number of people who have registered to become organ donors. According to UNOS, every 10 minutes, a new name is added to the national transplant list. 20 people die everyday from the lack of available organs. Just one deceased person, can save up to 8 lives, 9 lives if you split the liver. Now if you donate tissues, you can improve the lives of up to 50 people! The need for organ donation is growing every minute. You can see why we need to register.

In the United States today, people lose their lives to many different causes. Though this is tragic, there are also a large group of people who could benefit from these deaths; and those people are people in need of an organ transplant. Although a sudden or tragic death can be heart breaking to a family, they could feel some relief by using their loved ones' organs to save the lives of many others. This act of kindness, though, can only be done with consent of both the victim and the family; making the donation of organs happen much less than is needed. The need for organs is growing every day, but the amount provided just is not keeping up. Because of the great lack of organ donors, the constant need for organs,

To begin with, the number of people on the waiting list for a transplant is substantially growing every year and volunteers to donate are decreasing by the second. The dire need of organ donors is shown:

Organ donation is the gift of giving one’s body parts to a patient in need of fully operating organs to either increase their chances of survival or enhance their physical well-being or quality of life. Most organ donations are from a recently deceased donor, or in many cases, a living donor that’s organs are not necessary to survive. More than 123,797 people are currently on the waiting list to receive an organ transplant, 1/3 of which are in need of multiple organs. Every day the list decreases by 18, but every 10 minutes, another patient is added, making the list continue to grow significantly (The Need Is Real: Data). Raising awareness for organ donations is significant in many ways such as the fact that the organs of one deceased person has the potential to save eight lives, or enhance the lives of more than fifty. Right now, in the United States there are more than enough people waiting for an organ to fill a football stadium twice over (The Need is Real: Data). I believe increasing awareness with regard to organ donation is a necessity to ensure and improve the health prospects of a large number of civilians. Organ donations not only save and enhance lives, but also generate a correlating community of giving, support,
