Today while browsing the daily news, I came across an eye-catching headline of an article - "Almost 20,000 Patients Waiting For Organs Transplants". From the total, kidney patients recorded the highest potential organ recipients with a total of 19,474 people followed by liver, heart and lung patients.

First thing came across my mind was - Oh dear, you must do something! Why do I think I should pledge to be an organ donor:-
God has given me so much in my life with perfect body and organ. Being able to give the gift of life, that's the greatest thing you can do till your last breath. Also, I will be saving someone life who may meant alot to others especially their loved ones. What's more, it doesn't cost me anything to become an organ donor.
Sharing is caring.
What others may think about becoming an organ donor:-
My view: Even if it really happen, I believe I'm in deep suffering at that situation and it's alright for the doctor to shorten my pain.
2. While you are donating your organ for free, your organ may be sold to the black market and not helping those who really needed.
My view: Black market or not, as long as it save someone life that's matter. Also, black market exist in the first place due to supply shortage and excess demand. If everyone donate their organ, then the black market wouldn't exist no?
3. You don't live healthy life style, are you even qualified for donating your organ?
My view: Never try never know.
4. You may look awful during your funeral.
My view: Who cares? I'm death.
We all can make a difference to the world,
if everyone be a little selfless.
You may agree or disagree with my view. Organ donation is a medical procedure which involves process of donating organs or tissue from a living or dead person to be transplanted into living recipients who, in many cases, is very ill or dying.
