list to receive lifesaving organ transplant. Every 10 minutes a new name is added to the transplant waiting list and on average around 20 people die per day due to a lack of organ availability. The never changing high number of demands for organs and high shortage of donors in the United States of America has made a gap between the numbers, therefore a discussion has raised- how to lower this gap.

lives are changed when donor organs are provided. The tragedy and loss of one family turn into hope and unbounded promise for another family. A recipient's life is transformed and given a second chance with a donor's gift of life. Although there are many supporters of organ transplants, many others reject the practice.

Organ donation is the surgical removal of organs or a tissue of one person to be transplanted to another person for the purpose of replacing a failed organ damaged by disease or injury. Organs and tissues that can be transplanted are liver, kidneys, pancreas, heart, lungs, intestines, cornea, middle ear, skin, bone, bone marrow, heart valves, and connective tissues. Everyone regardless of age can consider themselves as potential donors. After one dies, he is evaluated if he is suited for organ donation

An Analysis of Organ Donation Flashback to when you were sixteen years old. Young, naive, and about to be ruling the streets with your very own Driver’s License. You passed your written and physical driving exams, but before you are able to get your “right of passage”, you must indicate whether or not you are willing to donate your organs in the case of your death.

the presumed consent method for organ donations? Introduction to Policy Controversy The current system of the United States as well as most of Europe for organ obtaining is through presumed refusal, which is also known as the “opt-in” system.

Xenoplantation aims to increase organ availability, it has the potential to open up new areas of research, and could end transplant list. The cons include high rejection rate, moral/ethical issues, and transfer of diseases from animals to humans. After learning about the pros and cons of Xenoplantation I believe that I am against
