Organs

            By this time tomorrow, 12 people in America who are alive right now will be dead. Not because they were in a car wreck, Not because they were gunned down, Not because their time had come, not even because they weren't in the hospital, but simply because they couldn't be given a life-saving transplant in time. 12 people will die because the organ transplant they need will not be possible. Money's not the issue here. Nor is scarcity. There are more than enough potential donors who pass away each day who could meet all the needs of people on the waiting lists. But there are still not enough organs. One of the people in this class could become one of those 12 people some day. I choose this topic because my grandmother needed a liver transplant about 3 years ago and never received one and I recently did some research on this topics. So in My speech I will talk about the problems faced when trying to get organs. Followed by the solutions to some of those problems or just solutions in general. .
             Here are the types of donors and the problems that come with both types.
             .
             Live Donors .
             1. Fear that they may need the body part themselves later.
             2. They don't want to endure pain.
             3. They don't want to take the time off of work.
             4. They don't want to risk any surgical mishaps.
             Dead Donors.
             1. The family is in enormous grief and can't make the decision in time.
             2. The family sometimes feel like they don't want their loved one cut up anymore or hurt further.
             3. Another reason is the family is being selfish with the parts of their loved one.
             4. If the victim of the accident doesn't have a living will or they back of their license signed saying they want to donate their body parts then it's up to the family and one of the fore mentioned problems can happen then.
             5. .
             Here are some solutions for the lack of organs.
             1. This first solution is kind of sketchy because it would make it sord of like a Black Market. But the parents of the recipient or the government, depending on the financial situation, could pay the family of the donor money for the organ.
