The author defines several definitions in progression in this narrative from the brain death, “beating-heart cadaver” and organ donor. The main point for me is, that if we make an early decision to be a donor, the death actually can be transformed to something extraordinary and gives live. “To be able, as a dead person, to make a gift of this magnitude is phenomenal.” (27) Roach appeals everyone to consider saving lives not only no loves ones, but to a stranger.
It is astonishing when we read the statistic that fifty-four percent of the families, whom doctors ask for permission to retrieve the organs of brain-dead patients refuse permission. I think that bolster Roach’s argument in the way that people need to be more compassion about other people’s lives and not be afraid of being an organ donor.

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.
The implications of “the ethical footpath for organ transplantation” that was published in 1968 was to make us understand the concept of brain death “advocating that irreversible coma be the new criterion for death”, which open a whole new ethical footpath for organ transplantation.
I believe, Roach uses the image “vigorous chew” rather than “good coverage” to emphasize the importance of this issue and the public opinion on organ
