    Organ Harvesting Summary

    • 590 Words
    • 3 Pages

    For transplant professionals it is a joyous when they take an organ such as a liver or kidneys or heart from a donor, and the comparison to “harvesting” is made to represent a future life, something good that will happen. The informal language the author uses from time to time in her narrative, like “hoochy-loochy” or “Cherry Sno-Kone” is I believe to make her narrative more human and to distract the readers a little from the cadaver’s image. The language is appropriate and is in the spirit of her massage, that even after our death, we still can make at least “three sick people well” by donating our organs.…

    Becoming an organ donor takes one signature and about thirty seconds of your time, but these thirty seconds can change someone's life one day. The best part about organ donation is that you are ultimately giving someone a life because without the organ they’re receiving they wouldn’t be able to live. We need more people to become organ donors so the countless number of people per year won’t die because they didn’t receive an organ. Please note, organs are only removed from a person after every other life-saving procedure has been attempted. To sum up, it is very important to increase the number of organ donors, so go save a life and become an organ…

Kevin Thurm, the author of the article "The Ultimate Gift: Sharing Life," works to persuade his audience of the positive effects of organ donation and why they should register to do so. Throughout his argument he uses the aids pathos, an emotional appeal, logos, a statistic-based appeal and ethos, a credibility-based appeal, in order to speak to a more vast audience. These appeals are widely shown throughout this article by the use of an emotional anecdote, startling statistics and credible sources. Through the use of these appeals, Thurm is working to persuade his audience…

    Organ donation is an amazing part of modern technology that has allowed us to save many lives. Unfortunately, finding organs that are available for donation can be very challenging. This has caused some to theorise about the possibility of organ conscription after death. In this essay, I will be critically assessing the statement `the needs of the living outweigh the wishes of the dead; so organs should be conscripted after death’. I will begin by clarifying what I mean by the terms organ conscription and death, and what the parameters around donation are.…

    Empathy In Frankenstein

    Honors English Final The general argument made by Lee Siegal in “Should Literature Be Useful?” is that there is a definite need for all people to read fiction because it teaches empathy – something many believe is only attained through reading nonfiction. More specifically, Siegal argues that fictitious stories offer just as much of a societal benefit as nonfiction by stating, “Reading fiction is good…because it makes you a more effective social agent. Which is pretty much what being able to read a train schedule does for you, too.” Furthermore, empathy is more than just sympathy or compassion.…

    A Warning to Humanity: Imperialism in the Modern Age In the rise of the modern era during the twentieth century, the state of the British Empire began to experience a rather extreme identity crisis due to the growing distaste for imperialism between the many colonial ties that started to question the validity of the relationship to its “Mother Country.” These tensions within the empire that arose due to British colonialism caused colonies to push for a more independent status from their English ties, thus giving rise to the post-colonial movement that addressed numerous aspects of British civilized society, such as science, literature, economic development. Throughout the numerous texts that explore the history of the British colonialism and…
