Follow your heart

Imagine you were born without a kidney or with a heart that did not function right. You would want somebody to give up their organs for you when they die. Everyone should be an organ donor. You could change a family’s life by donating your organ when you die. Also, if you died in a tragic accident and you’re not a donor, all of your organs will decompose and go to waste. Thirdly, more people would be organ donors if there were more ways to sign up.

A families life could be changed by giving one of your  organs  like a kidney, you have two anyway so if someone was born with a malfunctioning kidney you could donate one of yours and save somebody’s life which would be a momentous occasion. “It’s very hard to put into words how grateful I am to my donor family. I know that I have received a very precious gift and will never take that for granted”. As quoted by sue on the NZ donor website. I think that this quote is relevant to this point because she is saying that she is so grateful to her donor family for saving her life.

Secondly if you did happen to be in a tragic accident and you weren’t an organ donor that means that all your perfectly good organs would go to waste like your kidneys heart liver ears eyes nose skin and even your face. It sounds a bit harsh just saying the organs will go to waste and decompose, but it is a fact that if you are not a donor it’s just a waste.

Thirdly more people would be organ donors if their was more ways to sign up to be one because the only way you can at the moment is at the hospital or doctor and when you sit your drivers license test. Maybe if you got a flyer in the mail or a web site on the internet where you could sign up would be an organ donor. The range in the past 10 years has been 25-43 deceased organ donors in NZ.

In conclusion I think that everyone should be an organ donor because there is no point wasting your perfectly good organs if you are in an accident or just want to save somebody’s life.
