without healthy functioning body organs and tissues that make the body work at the highest level of its capacity. Saving someone’s life through the donation of a vital organ proves to be a courageous thing, when is giving willingly and pressure free. Human vital organs are as important as the human that obtain them. They are the vital tissues in the body that makes the body to function, and when any of the organs fails, it requires an immediate attention to fix or replace with a new healthy one that will lead one to the rest of his life.

All over the world, people are facing the problems of organs failure, and the problems of organ shortage to replenish those that have organ problems, are increasing by thousands. The text expressed that, 200,000 people got treated in Singapore hospital in 2002, for organ transplant, and over half a million in 2015 (Singapore Kidney Transplant, 2008). In the USA, over 120,000 people were waiting for organ, as 21 dyes each day, because of the shortage of organ supply to support the demand for organs (Organ Procurement and Transplantation, 2015).

Organ donation is the process of surgically removing organs from one person and transplanting them into someone else in need. The kidney was the first successful organ transplant to have taken place in 1954, the liver, heart and pancreas followed after in the 1960’s (United Network for Organ Sharing, 2015). With more than 120,021 people currently on the waiting list for…
Around 37% of Americans 18 years of age or older are registered organ donors. ( ) Because of this, there is a tiny supply of transplantable organs for a steadily increasing demand. So, there needs to be a way to increase that small supply. In Saving lives, one organ at a time, Amy Novotney discusses how psychologists can help remove the myths and rumors surround organ donation and increase the amount of people willing to register as an organ donor. In her article, Novotney talks about techniques…

Government Compensation for Organ Donation From an early age I knew that I would be an organ donor, and when I turned sixteen I began participating in blood drives. Donating blood became a habit, something that my husband and I continue to do together. For it would be quite selfish of me to deny someone, even a complete stranger the gift of life when I am fully capable of giving it. However, the sad reality is that many Americans choose not to participate in organ donation of any kind. Organs…
Consent for Organ Donation Required Request Required request proposals typically mandate hospitals to develop and implement policies to ensure that healthcare providers (HCP 's) approach all families of "potential" organ donors once brain death is determined(Siminoff & Mercer, 2001). Potential donors are usually victims of accident caused trauma, sudden acute illness, or self-inflicted injury. In all such cases, a diagnosis of brain death establishes that the body 's internal controls can no…
