Topic > Increasing the number of organ donors - 792

Whenever we hear the two words "organ donation", we quickly let them slip from our minds because we simply don't think they are important enough. As this comes into play for many topics, we never truly recognize what others face on a daily basis. With 1,700 people on the Australian waiting list, we believe this number is very low and can easily be benefited. The truth is, as the numbers increase, many will unfortunately die having to wait up to 4 years or more at a time waiting for a suitable organ transplant. The current “Opt-In” organ donation system in Australia simply does not provide enough donors. We feel unpleasant emotions related to the threat of danger and pain resulting from these words “organ donation,” because, to put it simply, we are too selfish and lazy to go out of our way to put our deceased bodies on the line for profit. others. To increase the number of donors, thus benefiting and improving the lives of many, I will make my case for an 'Opt-Out' organ donation system in Australia, rather than the current 'Opt-In' system. ". Australian organ donor is not something you have really thought about unless you are in a situation that forces you to do so. This is why our current "Opt-In" system is not effective. While Australia has one of the best transplant survival rates in the world, it also has one of the lowest donation rates. Few deaths occur each year that make organ donation possible, and as a result, only about a third of the demand for organ transplants can be met. if we have a fatal accident tomorrow, we therefore tend to postpone things that don't seem to you... middle of paper......duals who die from various accidents, who end up having healthy organs . But with the current system, and unprecedented desire for organ donation, hundreds of vital organs go to waste every single day. The sheer number of organs rotting in the ground or turning to ash, when they could be used to give a person another chance, is simply shocking. Evidently, the current system in Australia needs a change. The current campaign does not allow you and me to think effectively about registering as a donor. The 'Opt-Out' organ donation system will force Australian individuals to think and discuss donation, thereby increasing the number of eligible donors. So why not boost the lethargy in society by promoting the possibility of helping many lives in need and supporting the tiny 4% of donors in Australia who are trying to get on the right path. Thank you.
