be affected if they donate. What they don’t realise is that their one
simple consent for donation will give someone else a second chance
in their life and the recipient will be able to live the life he has
envisioned.
Some people are not ready to donate simple because they don’t like
the idea of being cut up once he or she is dead. Some consider it as
unethical. Again they are not aware they can donate while they are
still alive. Also there are people who are afraid of the surgical
complications they will face since organ transplantation is a complex
procedure. Of course they don’t know that there will be trained
surgeons who will monitor their health condition and assess their
compatibility for transplantation. Young people who are stricken with
serious ailment are potential donors. But their family may think
otherwise stricken with grief. Enlisting their son or daughter for organ
donation during their last days is a consolation for them knowing that
they are still alive in some way.
Apart from this religious people are the one who doesn’t want to be
part of this procedure since they doesn’t know where their organs will
end up. He or she may be of any religion or caste or economic
background. My opinion in this matter is first of all we all are human
beings and children of the universe. Religion is just a barrier
separating us. Such kind of people should take a minute to think how
many lives could be saved by their act of kindness.
