Week 7 discussion
Organ Donation
The number of individuals waiting for an organ transplant completely dwarfs the number of donor organs available. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2014), 18 people die each day waiting for an organ and over 120,000 people are waiting for an organ transplant.
Research organ donation and explain how the U.S could reduce these statistics and get more individuals to sign up for organ donation. What would it take for you to donate one of your kidneys to a family member? How about a stranger? Would you? What are your overall fears and concerns?
