Dilemma to Increase Organ Donation Casey Fuller English Compensation II- 12/5/ Professor Jan Wakefield-Darvas

Dilemma to Increase Organ Donations A total of 22 people dies just waiting to get an organ transplant, this happens due to the lack of organ donors. It is illegal to sell an organ in most of the nation, to meet the increasing demand for donors, it is essential to be out in the community. Organ donation is reported to be common among 85% of Americans (Saudia Iftikhar,2016). With this issue, the U. wants a good job at receiving living and dying to look more into organ donation while they are living. When showing people, the effect that being an organ donor will prolong the life of someone through donating their organ. For a campaign to be successful, it must push and reach Americans so they are willing to give their organs. In cases where the recipient has died from a heart attack, lung failure, or is brain dead, it is too late for them to contribute because they can't be revived. The U. must now provide donated organs. Many people have no idea how essential donated organs are for survival and for saving the lives of those who need them. Getting more donors is the biggest challenge in the United States, as is finding the right way to talk about the matter without implying how to contact them. U. citizens can decide before they die whether they wish to honor their wish to be a donor in them. However, in the event of death, he or she wishes to be a donor. putting one’s name on a list allows the person to fain access, it is possible for him or her to be listed on their driver’s license as an organ donor contributor. According to Iadia Iftikhar (2016), approximately 28

made. There have been suggestions to set up a way to receive, but nothing yet emerged. In a controversial arrangement that involves funeral cost or health premiums while providing benefits during transplants for benefactors’ estates. There have been debates over whether to guarantee these benefits in advance. The biggest thing with this is that the brokers overseeing this market that the poor get left out, therefore the body would be deemed as assets to be bought and then sold (HRSA,1993). By using this system, it wouldn’t apply to the lawmakers of the U. that have embraced the altruistic model. In addition, there is no potential problem with the opt-out models that are initiated by people that do not declare their intent to not become donors until they have passed on. There is a law that prevents a relative from overriding a decision recorded by someone else to donate their organ to someone else before they have passed away. This is known as first-person consent to brain death. This legal assumption from a person’s death is decided in two ways (1) one being brain dead or (2) loss of heart and lung function (Younger,2016). In determining this, they will have to consider which organs are so critical that a person cannot live without them not just dying but dying (Young, 2019). Restrictions are recognized as having an inevitable and tragic outcome which is also characterized as a legal fiction. It clarifies for brain-dead individuals that they are dead enough for a donation to be made (Younger,2001). When a family member finds out that the person has

died and is an organ donor it could be a very difficult thing for them and have to let go and donate the organ, when the person decided the legal fiction has met, then it is required that the Organ Harvesting Agency has to step in and direct the team of medical professionals to get the organs. The legislation set up and assist organ donors. It did occur that family members fought litigation against others who wished to donate their organs, but the lawsuits were ultimately ineffective resulting in the family abandoning litigation. A brain-dead person has interpreted two different ways, causing anguish for the family. Clinical death is interpreted in different ways by different states. Depending on the nation, it could be defined as the irreversible loss of the brain’s functions or as the irreversible loss of the heart’s and lungs’ functions. These can be very hard for families and confusing to them and provide them with hope in a hopeless situation. Legislation needs to clarify this human function so that it can be used to determine clinical death (Farrell, Prince & Quigley,2011). If we were forced to decide to donate the organs of our loved ones, would it be easy or hard for us to make? Knowing that they are saving the lives of someone else after they have passed would be beneficial but some effort is to be taken to help save the lives of people who have waited to be on the organ donors list and who would be able to live a little longer because of it. we should provide interesting opportunities to encourage potential donors to donate, however, the number of people who are dying regularly is troubling. When someone is making this choice, it is a serious discussion that needs to get accomplished, offering something to the

the government enforces strict regulations to protect the poor from abuse or being sold. Every death that occurs in a controlled environment can become an organ donor under an opt-out system like that in Europe. As a result, fewer people would have to die due to organ donation. Organ donation is a major issue that needs to be addressed in the United States.
