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?

What is living donation?
Living donation takes place when a living person donates an organ (or part of an organ) for transplantation to another person. The living donor can be a family member, such as a parent, child, brother or sister (living related donation).
Living donation can also come from someone who is emotionally related to the recipient, such as a good friend, spouse or an in-law (living unrelated donation). Thanks to improved medications, a genetic link between the donor and recipient is no longer required to ensure a successful transplant.
In some cases, living donation may even be from a stranger, which is called anonymous or non-directed donation.
