Organ donation or organ transplantation is a procedure by which a person suffering from organ failure, such as the kidneys, heart, lungs, liver and pancreas, obtains a healthy replacement organ from another human body. The legalization of this surgery has generated a very controversial debate that has lasted for years. What most people don't understand is that the pros outweigh the cons. Besides, what do you put before saving someone's life? Of course, the organs that will be donated will be non-vital organs, that is to say organs that are not necessary for life. If it is a vital organ, this situation will be followed up further. This is where a deceased donor comes in, a person who has died but whose other vital organs are in good enough condition to be used. But all this must be done with the consent of the donor or his family. As organ donation is not yet legalized, the number of donors is very low compared to the number of people who need these organs. Most of the time, kidney or liver donors are family members, but that is not enough. The website organdonor.org indicates that 18 people die every day in the United States alone, because of a long waiting list for an organ that never arrived. to their aid. Recent research by Statistic Brain also shows that the number of patients in the United States who died while waiting for an organ transplant in 2010 was 6,521, and the number of people on the waiting list at the end of 2013 was 112,706. Imagine the thousands, if not millions, of people waiting around the world. What people don't really understand is that the legalization of organ transplantation will come with precautions in the form of different rules and laws. The organ donation procedure will happen in no time...... middle of paper ...... all over the world right now. With legalization in the United States, one of the largest countries, many lives will be saved and it will become an example for the whole world. few.Works CitedAndre, Claire and Manuel Velasquez. “Kidneys for sale”.
