As being one of the most important issues about people’s lives, organ donation has a crucial place in our lives. Since the first operation of this, there have been many discussions about whether the organs should be donated or not. Organ donation can be defined as the removal of an organ from a human who has recently died, to transform it another one who is in need of it, or from a living donor for the purpose of transplanting; although this is a very important decision to save a life, there still be some questions like; Should there be organ donations or not? and people have different views about this issue. Therefore, I am going to give these opponent thoughts about organ donation.
As I have mentioned before, organ donation is a life saving operation; but, although opponents of organ donation know this, they have some opposite thoughts about this. They think that organ donation can have some negative sides; and one can classify their thoughts as; religious issues, worries about the age and hospitals’ treatment while they are making the operation and the families who think that their loved relatives’ bodies are salvaged for parts at the time of donation. First of all, they think that organ donation is against their religion; but are the religions really against this; which is a saving of one’s life ? Secondly, the opponents of organ donation think that they are too old or too young to make an organ donation, so they decide not to donate their organs; but is the age really an important factor for donation? Also, the people have some fears about the treatment of hospital while they are donating their organs; for example, they worry that at the time of the donation, the other organs of them can be affected negatively; they think that while they are trying to save someone’s life, they may endanger their own healths. Thirdly, people; especially families or relatives of a dead one have difficulties to give the loved relative’s organs and they think that the body of the dead one will be cut into pieces while the operation is being made; but, is it a good reaction while a lot of people are waiting for their loved one’s survival? Consequently, on surface structure, organ donations seem to be precarious circumstances; but, are they really like this? or are these only the needless results of the lacking of information about this issue?
Unlike the opponents of organ donation, supporters of it have reasonable causes to support this. First of all, they are aware that this is one of the most important ways of saving one’s life. They see this as a social responsibility. The supporters of organ donation are aware of the situations of both sick person and his family; for example, there are a lot of people who are waiting for the proper organ for their treatment. According to the supporters, this is the second life chance for these people, also there a lot of people who die while they are waiting for donation. The supporters think that organ donation is proper for their religions as well; because, saving one’s life is very important for the religions. Also they are aware that the bodies of the donors are not cut into pieces at the time of the operation; because, only limited organs of the body can be transformed like; kidneys, heart, liver, pancreas, intestines, lungs and cornea. Also, those who have enough information about this issue know that these operations are made by experienced experts; so there is nothing to worry about. To conclude, there are many good effects of making an organ donation; above all of the things, you can save one’s life and you can make more than one person live with your organs; I think this can be the most important cause to declare organ donation as a very necessary issue.
As a conclusion, I want you to imagine that one morning you wake up and find out that you are moving for a holiday and you have a closet filled with clothes which are new but useless for you in your holiday, what would you do with these clothes? Would you throw them out or would you leave them behind for someone else to use? Organ donation is something like that; you can make people happy with your decision and make them live their second life instead of bringing your organs with you when you are dead. By making organ donation you can be a hope for sick people. Organ donation is not made if your organ is necessary for you or your decision does not affect the attitudes of doctors towards you. Also it is not against your faith and your body will not be cut into pieces. Therefore, organ donation is very necessary and people should be informed about this issue.
"Organ donation is not a tragedy, but iy can be a beautiful light in the midst of one."
